Janique Ebanks of Concord couldn’t believe her luck when she found out she was the $100,000 winner of the 2021 Multiply The Cash Second-Chance drawing.
"You know I didn’t believe it at first,” she said. “I thought, ‘This must be a scam!’ I had to call and verify.”
Her entry was chosen out of 30,586,092 in the April 7 drawing. For this second-chance drawing, the number of entries corresponds to the price of the ticket. For example, a $20 ticket earns 20 entries.
