Mitchell County man becomes first $100,000 winner in new game

John McClellan of Spruce Pine tried his luck on a $20 scratch-off and won the first $100,000 prize in a new lottery game.

McClellan bought his lucky Mega 7’s ticket from One Stop on Barnardsville Highway in Barnardsville in Buncombe County. He arrived at lottery headquarters Tuesday to collect his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $71,016.

Mega 7’s debuted this month with four $2 million prizes and eight $100,000 prizes. Four $2 million prizes and seven $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed.

Ticket sales from scratch-off games make it possible for the lottery to raise more than $2.5 million a day for education. The state provided $32 million in grants, using money raised by the lottery, to help Mitchell County with school construction.

According to NCEL Yadkin county man bought his scratch off ticket from 1 stop in Kernersville. Mitchell County man also bought his ticket from one stop in Barnardsville. Miles apart yet they both won. Congrats to the winners. Hint...one(1) stop is the place to go now. As they say the proof is in the pudding. NCEL cracks me up sometimes. Game on...
