Ryan Kemp of Clyde took his 200X The Cash scratch-off ticket, plugged it into a second-chance drawing scheduled for June 8, and found himself the lucky winner of $200,000.
He claimed his prize Thursday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After required federal and state tax withholdings, he took home $141,908.
The $30 game launched in March with six $5 million top prizes and 18 $100,000 prizes. Five of the $5 million top prizes and 13 of the $100,000 prizes remain to be won. The game also features second-chance drawings to win additional prizes.
Wednesday’s 200X The Cash second-chance drawing was the first of four drawings with one $1 million prize, one $200,000, and 25 $500 prizes. His entry was one of 1.3 million in the drawing. The second drawing is scheduled for Jan. 4.
