James Spray Jr. of Brevard tried his luck on a new holiday scratch-off ticket and won a $150,000 prize.

Spray became the first to win one of the four top prizes on the $5 Holiday Cheer ticket. He bought his lucky ticket from the One Stop on Old Hendersonville Highway in Brevard.

“It was a very, very blessed day,” Spray said Wednesday as he claimed his prize at lottery headquarters in Raleigh.

After required federal and state tax withholdings, he took home $106,126.

The Holiday Cheer game launched this month. Three top prizes of $150,000 remain to be claimed.
