Fuquay-Varina resident Roger Lundy has wanted a new car for years and, after winning a $100,000 top prize in a second-chance drawing, now he can get one.
“We really need a new car,” he said. “We might get a Hyundai Palisade.”
Lundy won his lucky prize in the Season-End Extravaganza second-chance drawing on Wednesday. The drawing had more than 4.2 million entries.
“This was the biggest drawing for the whole year so I threw a bunch of extra points in there,” he said.
Lundy told his wife he won after he got an email notification Thursday morning.
“She thought I was pulling her leg,” Lundy laughed. “We are both thrilled.”
He arrived at lottery headquarters Thursday to claim his prize and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $71,500.
The Season-End Extravaganza drawing awarded three North Carolina lottery players with a $100,000 prize. The other two prizes have not been claimed yet.

@Roger K. Tons of people "pick the trash" at stores and scan in tickets they didn't even buy, that's how so many get so many points for entries! It's very unfair to the rest of us-especially those of us who don't have a Smartphone-and shouldn't be allowed! A lot of us have been complaining about this for quite awhile now!
o well good, luck, though to him.
i put in countless entries, with over 35000 redeem points, i rarely utilized, and i am just happy to and i hope continually winning my every other month pick 4. better odds, than this, so good luck to all.adios.
