Hyeon Jung of High Point took a chance on a $20 scratch-off and won a $2 million prize.

Jung bought his lucky 100X The Cash ticket from Green Street Grocery on East Green Drive in High Point where he works as an employee.

When Jung arrived on Friday 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.

Congrats from Charlotte! Knowing NCEL will do a thorough investigation to make sure this ticket didn’t originally belong to an illiterate, trusting customer…

Yeah but its a game that people in Rowan County would like to win as much as people in Charlotte and surrounding areas.

He should've been immediately disqualified. Definitley something fishy about this.
