Catawba County man to put $100,000 prize towards new home

May 4, 2021 Posted by NC Lottery at 9:08 AM

While doing some grocery shopping, George Lackey of Newton tried his luck on a 100X The Cash ticket and won the latest $100,000 prize.

Lackey purchased his winning $20 ticket from the Buffalo Shoals Supermarket & H on Buffalo Shoals Road in Newton.

Sitting in his truck outside, he scratched his ticket.

“When I scratched it off, I just said, ‘Woah,’” recalled Lackey. “It was a big shock.”

He claimed his prize Monday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh and took home $70,756 after required state and federal tax withholdings.

With his prize money, Lackey hopes to either buy a new house or make repairs to a home that was willed to him.

The 100X The Cash game launched in January with five top prizes of $2 million and five $100,000 prizes. Three top prizes and three $100,000 prizes remain to be won.
