Douglas Davis Jr. of Mt. Olive is celebrating his good luck after he won $100,000 the week before Christmas.
His good fortune happened when he stopped by the Friendly Mart on North Breazeale Avenue in Mt. Olive and bought a $5 Mega Bucks scratch-off ticket.
He claimed his prize Monday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After required state and federal tax withholdings, he took home $69,502.
Ticket sales from instant games like Mega Bucks make it possible for the lottery to raise more than $600 million a year for education. For details on how lottery funds have made a difference in all of North Carolina’s 100 counties, click on the “For Education” section of the lottery’s website.
