James Bryan of Jacksonville watched his $5 scratch-off ticket reveal a $250,000 top prize.

Bryan purchased his winning 20X The Cash ticket from the Handy Mart on Burgaw Highway in Jacksonville.

He claimed his prize Wednesday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh and took home $176,876 after required federal and state tax withholdings.

The new 20X The Cash game launched in February with 10 top prizes of $250,000. Five more remain to be won.

i have a question, how many of one number can be sold in one drawing of the pick 3 like 222. anyone knowNC Lottery
Hi Teresa, great question! The limit is not on sales, but on the potential amount of prizes that could be won if a particular set of numbers were drawn in a drawing. The liability limit for Pick 3 is $5 million. I hope that helps to answer your question!

ok NCEL you all allowed trip triggers for 999 and 777 to fall then the 222 drop. A smart strategy. Keep up the good work!!!
