Donald Aughenbaugh of Oak Island tried his luck on a $30 scratch-off and won a $100,000 prize.

Aughenbaugh bought his lucky 200X The Cash ticket from Olde Brunswick General Store on Fifty Lakes Drive in Southport.

He claimed his prize at lottery headquarters Wednesday and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $71,259.

The 200X The Cash game launched in March 2022 with six top prizes of $5 million and 18 $100,000 prizes. Three $5 million prizes and six $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed.

Ticket sales from scratch-off games make it possible for the lottery to raise $2.5 million a day on average for education. For details on how $5.9 million raised by the lottery made a difference in Brunswick County last year, visit www.nclottery.com and click on the “Impact” section.
