Lynn Stephenson of Willow Springs tried her luck on a $20 scratch-off and walked away the winner of a $100,000 prize.
Stephenson purchased her lucky Millionaire Bucks ticket from Dave’s Mart & Grill on N.C. 210 in Angier.
She claimed her prize Thursday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After required federal and state tax withholdings, she took home $70,756.
Millionaire Bucks launched in June with four top prizes of $4 million and six prizes of $100,000. Two $4 million top prizes and three $100,000 prizes remain to be won.
Ticket sales from scratch-off games make it possible for the lottery to raise more than $725 million a year for education. For details on how $13.6 million made a difference in Johnston County in 2019, click on the “Impact” section of the lottery’s website.
