James Lee of Wallace tried his luck on a $20 scratch-off and won a $2 million prize.

Lee bought his lucky 100X The Cash ticket from Murphy USA on South N.C. 41 in Wallace.

When Lee arrived at lottery headquarters Tuesday to collect his prize, he could choose to receive the prize as an annuity of $100,000 over 20 years or a lump sum of $1.2 million. He chose the lump-sum amount of $1.2 million and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $855,006.

I've spent 45.00 in two days on scratcher offs. NOTHING! ?????? Where are these winning tickets? The land of Oz, Munchkin Land?

Look at them smiles! I'd be smiling to, if I had won that much on a ticket. Congratulations to the both of you! Y'all are young, spend it wisely. 855,006 is a lot of money to have. Take care!
