Small town woman wins big lottery prize

July 13, 2011 Posted by NC Lottery at 12:57 PM

Sometimes big things come in small packages, the saying goes. Well, sometimes big winners come from small towns, too.

Yesterday, Margaret Scott of Grover in Cleveland County claimed a $30,000 instant prize playing a "Money Bag Crossword" scratch-off game. With her win, four of the six top prizes of $30,000 remain unclaimed in the $3 game.

Although Grover is a very small town, Scott is actually the second instant winner from there this year. In March, Thomas Hollifield won $5,000 playing the "$200,000 a Year for Life" game.

One of the largest lottery prizes in North Carolina history was won by a Cleveland County man. In June 2009, Jeff Wilson of Kings Mountain won an $88.1 million Powerball jackpot. He elected to take the lump sum prize valued at $42.4 million.

@ KAYBABY - Odds of winning are for the entire printing run of the game, not the exact odds for a roll of tickets. If winning a prize was as simple as buying a lot of tickets, that is what everyone would do. It may only take one ticket to win a prize. Thank you for taking time to ask your question, but please remember that no matter how much you play, there is still only the chance to win, not a guarantee.

@NICKSDOLPHINZ - Lottery games are meant to be played for entertainment with a fair chance to win a prize. Unless you have $20,000 set aside for entertainment, we do not recommend playing that much.

I wonder how much science went into developing the scratch offs? After purchasing many many tickets I have seen a consistent sign of sequences that seem to feed into impulsivity. I'm sure that some people might think that I'm paranoid but If have purchased over 20,000 worth of losing tickets to say that thier may be something deeper involved in how the sequence the numbers. Just curious!

Congrats to all the Big Winners. I have been trying to hit big on the scratch off but no such luck. Please explain to me the overall odds of winning percentage. For Jumbo Bucks it is 1:-3:36. I bought 6 tickets in a row and won nothing, $60.00 and NOTHING!!!!

Faith is 2 believe that which U do not see; and the reward for this faith is to see that which U believe!

I can only imagine how you would feel winning lots of money - I dream of winning big money - I know alot of elderly people who I would help that could really use the help. I pray God will open those doors for me in a mighty way that someday my dream will come true.Congratulations to all who have won!
