Guilford County woman wins first Black Diamond 7s $200,000 top prize

Linda Mabry of Jamestown stopped to try her luck on a new Black Diamond 7s ticket and won its first $200,000 top prize.

“I stopped like I always do after work because I wanted to get the new tickets that was out,” she said. “Every month when the new ones come out I just like to try them.”

Mabry, who works as a benefits administrator, purchased her winning $5 ticket from the Quick Mart on West Main Street in Jamestown on Thursday.

At home later that night, she scratched the tickets.

“I kind of looked and I said, ‘Is this a winner?’” recalled Mabry of realizing she won a top prize. “And then I got my cell phone and took a picture of it to make sure I was seeing it right and after that I went to bed!”

She claimed her prize Monday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After required federal and state tax withholdings, she took home $141,501.

“Just help pad my retirement when I retire in about three years,” said Mabry of her plans for the prize money. “I’ll pay off a few bills I’ve got and then put the rest away for retirement.”

Black Diamond 7s launched in November with five top prizes of $200,000. Four top prizes remain to be won.

I've bought 10 of these tickets and only had 1 winner for a measly $10.00 and she gets $200,000? I need to win a top prize of some sort and I only have till Dec 31st to do it.

How are the winners of the Lucke Rewards and the second chance chosen? Does someone put their hand in a Top hat and pull their name out. Or another method NC Lottery
Hey there, Bryant! We would need an awfully big Top Hat for the hundreds of thousands or millions of entries we get for Lucke-Rewards and Second Chance drawings! We use a secure computer running an Random Number Generator to select winners. The process is also observed by independent auditors.

If you win a $500 second chance draw or lucke-rewards draw will you have to go to lottery headquarters to collect ?NC Lottery
Hi Deborah, we’ve got good news for you—Lucke-Rewards and second-chance wins up to $99,999 can now be claimed completely online! Just follow the instructions in the notification email you received in order to complete the claim process. Wins of $100,000 or more can be started online, but we will still need the winner to come visit us at lottery headquarters in Raleigh.
