Dominic Basile of Hope Mills tried his luck on a $30 scratch-off and won a $100,000 prize.
Basile bought his lucky 200X The Cash ticket from Shell Petromart on South N.C. 87 in Fayetteville.
Basile claimed his prize at lottery headquarters Monday, and after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $71,259.
The 200X The Cash game launched in March with six top prizes of $5 million and 18 $100,000 prizes. Four $5 million prizes and seven $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed.
Ticket sales from scratch-offs make it possible for the lottery to raise $2.5 million a day on average for education. For details on how $23 million raised by the lottery made a difference in Cumberland County last year, visit www.nclottery.com and click on the “Impact” section.
