Lucky streak takes Iredell County man to $100,000 prize

December 21, 2020 Posted by NC Lottery at 8:11 AM

A lucky streak for Randy Sigmon of Statesville ended Friday when he collected a $100,000 scratch-off prize.

Sigmon said his good luck started in November and since then he collected three smaller prizes, a $1,000 win, a second $1,000 win, and then a $5,000 win from scratch-off tickets.

His big win came when he bought a $20 Holiday Countdown ticket at the B&B Quick Stop on Water Tank Road in Statesville and won the $100,000 prize. After required federal and state tax withholdings, he took home $70,756.

“I have a horseshoe in my pocket, I guess,” said Sigmon as he collected his prize.

Holiday Countdown tickets can be entered into a second-chance drawing with the chance to win a $150,000 prize. Holiday Luck or Holiday Countdown tickets are eligible for the Holiday Luck second-chance drawing.

In addition to the $150,000 prize, the drawing will also award five prizes of $10,000 and 50 prizes of $500.

The deadline to enter your tickets into the next drawing is Sunday, Jan. 31, and the drawing is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 3.

For the most part I can scan tickets just fine but I have seen the return of an old problem. It doesn't look exactly the same since it was a previous version of the app. The problem is one that I had fairly regularly before you changed the app the first time. You scan a few tickets fine and then you scan one that has a statement about the app being offline but if I scan it again it scans. This is like the return of an old problem.NC Lottery

NCEL since you don't know what is coming out why do we have so many repeats but trips never repeat 4 times in one month. please explain!!!!!!!NC Lottery
The odds of a particular triple (0-0-0) coming out in a North Carolina drawing are the same as in a Pick 3 drawing anywhere else -- exactly 1 in 1,000. Those odds never change, no matter how recently or long ago a triple came out. We love it when popular numbers come up at random, because that means our players win a bunch of prizes! But for draw games to be fair, every number has to have the same chance of being drawn. Other repeats are purely coincidental.

Congratulations on your winnings!!! Once I wasn't able to scan but I noticed it was only when I got tickets from a certain store. Mentioned it to them and they changed the paper and haven't had problems since. They scan faster than I can change them sometimes.

Had a winning Keno ticket and used the scanner to check the ticket and it read not a winner, but thank goodness I knew how the game works and cashed the ticket. Something is wrong with the NC Lottery scanners.NC Lottery

Congratulations Randy! Great winning streak :-) NCEL. I still can't get the ticket scanner to work even after calling technical support but is there a reason they changed it to the system it has now it clearly isn't functioning properly thank you so much for your response

The new lottery app scanner works great for me. Sometimes it scans before I can even get it steady.

The new ticket scanner is trash. Please fix it.NC Lottery

wow this is awesome

Agreed the new Ticket Scanner on the Mobile App is AWFUL. Takes many tries to either Enter a Ticket or Check for a Winner. Worse, it puts a significant drain on my iPhone Battery. Please restore the former Ticket Scanner until you can get this one fixed.NC Lottery
Thanks for the feedback Richard, we have shared your comment with the appropriate department.

I’m having a difficult time scanning tickets for rewards as your app is showing a strange screen saying line up bar code to scan. Please let me know if you aware of the problem and who can assist me.NC Lottery
