Duplin County woman wins $200,000 second-chance prize

February 9, 2024 Posted by NC Lottery at 3:03 PM

Amy Darboe of Wallace tried her luck in a second-chance drawing and won the $200,000 grand prize on Wednesday.

Darboe found out that she won the top prize in the 2023 Holiday Second Chance drawing when she got an email notification from the lottery. There were more than 22 million entries in the drawing.

She arrived on Friday to collect her prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $143,000.

Players got a second chance with their holiday scratch-off tickets by scanning them into their lottery accounts where they were automatically entered into the drawing. In addition to the $200,000 top prize, the drawing had two $50,000 winners and 200 winners of $500.

Jennie, I have been entering them since 2014 and have entered over 50,000 times and won nothing. How some people are winning 2-3 times with millions of entries and a "random" number generator is beyond me as well. What else can you do.

Can't help but express my disappointment after having about 5000 entries for the drawings on the 7th. Congrats to all the winners. I'm still in disbelief.
