$150,000 lottery win means a dream trip to Disney for Onslow County family

Tiffany Wigfall of Richlands said she plans to take her three children on a dream trip to Disney World after winning a $150,000 lottery prize.

“We’ve never been able to do something like this,” Wigfall said. “Now we can. My kids are the perfect age to enjoy a trip like this.”

The winning Holiday Cash scratch-off ticket came from Dempsey’s Kwik Mart on Catherine Lake Road in Jacksonville. Wigfall scratched the ticket when she got home. 

“I was like, ‘There is no way. This can’t be real.’” Wigfall said. “I started jumping around and screaming I was so excited.”

Wigfall claimed her prize Thursday. After required state and federal tax withholdings, she took home $106,126.

The $5 ticket launched in November with four top prizes of $150,000. Since Wigfall claimed the last top prize, the lottery will take steps to end the game. Players can still enter their holiday scratch-off tickets into a second-chance drawing for a chance to win $50,000. The deadline to enter the drawing is Jan. 31.

A Happy New Year shout out to you too Turbo. Didn't have a such a good lottery year in '18 and still recovering from the Big Flo Blow so have to cut way back in '19, but I'll still follow what's going on. Good luck to all!

Hey, Tom. It's definitely a big week both with draw games and with scratch-offs. It's all good. The lottery loves seeing so many big wins. Good luck to you.

Hey I hear a Chief, I hope they let me win too. I was a Teamster for 30yrs and fortunate enough to retire. I guess that allows me time to be a cheerleader. If I ever win big, will I ever get my picture taken and tell a story? Prolly not!! Too many negative comments insulting the winners.

Hello Denver G(Turbo). Happy NCEL Winning 2019 New Year to you. Still waiting on my big winning day. Hoping it can happen this year. I'm still playing my favorite P3 numbers: 513(cmb), 125(cmb), 302-203-032 and 133(cmb). Wishing all the true players many winning days in 2019. -Scorpion King.

Hopefully NC Lottery will let you win one day Denver G for being there biggest cheerleader. And I mean that. Knowing the Lottery is here to stay I wish everyone that plays could win as that's there hopes in playing in the first place. I'm just a realist and know most will not so it's best to set limits.
