Michael Glazer of New Bern is celebrating after he won a $100,000 lottery prize.
Glazer’s good fortune happened when he stopped by the WC Market on Martin Luther King Boulevard in New Bern and bought a $300,000,000 Supreme Riches scratch-off ticket.
He claimed his prize Monday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After required state and federal tax withholdings, he took home $70,759.
Glazer is the first player to win a big prize since the $30 ticket launched earlier this month. Four $10 million prizes, six $1 million prizes, and 14 $100,000 prizes remain. Players can also enter their tickets into four second-chance drawings for a chance to win $1 million. The deadline to enter the first drawing is July 31.
Ticket sales from games like $300,000,000 Supreme Riches make it possible for the lottery to raise more than $650 million a year for education. For details on how $5.8 million in lottery funds made a difference in Craven County last year, click on the “Impact” section of the lottery’s website.
