Cheri Caison of Goldsboro took a chance with an instant ticket and scratched her way to a $100,000 prize.

Caison’s luck happened with a $20 100X The Cash ticket she purchased at the Lighthouse Food Mart on North Herman Street in Goldsboro. She claimed her prize Tuesday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After state and federal tax withholdings, she took home $70,756.

The 100X The Cash game started in February 2018, offering three top prizes of $4 million, six $1 million prizes, and six $100,000 prizes. One $4 million prizes, two $1 million prizes, and 1 $100,000 remain to be won.

Players can also enter any of their Multiply The Cash instant tickets into four second-chance drawings. Each drawing offers chances to win either a top prize of $50,000, one of eight $5,000 prizes, or one of 25 $500 prizes. The entry deadline for the first drawing is March 31.

Ticket sales from games like 100X The Cash help the lottery raise more than $650 million a year for education. For details on how $8.3 million in money raised by the lottery helped education programs in Wayne County last year, click on the “Impact” section of the lottery’s website.

Good morning, Wanda. Ask at the stores where you buy your scratchers. If they don't have any available, email communication@lotterync.net and share privately your address and we will send you some.

How long does it take to receive your winnings once you provide the winning ticket? Even if it's the mega millions or Powerball.NC Lottery
Hey Santrice, That would depend on the size of the prize and the payment option that the winner chooses. Winners of $100,000 or more have the option of receiving a physical check when they come in to claim, or receiving their payment via direct deposit. The direct deposit payment is sent the same day, but can take a few days to show up in a winner's account depending on their financial institution's policies.
