Onslow County woman plays favorite digital instant and wins $103,096 jackpot

Dawn Dildy of Jacksonville loves playing the Wheel of Bonuses digital instant game, and she loves it even more now after winning a $103,096 jackpot on Thursday.

“I play that game every day if I can,” Dildy said. “I love it.”

She played a $.50 ticket and won the top level ‘Epic jackpot’ in the Wheel of Bonuses game, a digital instant game featuring a progressive jackpot that can be won at any time. The odds of that win are 1 in 62 million.

“I always thought you probably had to play a $10 or $20 ticket to hit the jackpot,” she said.

Dildy said she still has trouble believing her luck.

“I’m still trying to wrap my brain around the fact that I won,” Dildy said. “It’s truly amazing.”

She called her daughters right after she won to tell them the good news.

“They told me I was lying,” Dildy laughed. “I had to send a screenshot. They were really happy for me.”

She claimed her prize Monday at lottery headquarters and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $73,714.

Dildy said she plans to use her winnings to pay some bills.

In the Wheel of Bonuses digital instant game, a player can play from 50 cents to $30. After Dildy won the jackpot, it restarted at $50,000 and has grown to over $115,000 as of Monday afternoon.

Digital instant games are played exclusively online on the lottery’s website or on the NC Lottery Official Mobile App. Thirty-one different games are available to play online now.

It has seemed to me that the more you bet that the better chance to hit something about like a jackpot. Congratulations on winning with the min. bet.

@NCEL do you all know how many top prizes have been won on these Digital Instant Games? Must not have been many, because I have not seen any stories. I been playing for that 300K nothing...The progressive games are the only games that give people a chance at the BIG MONEY! VA has a game that has a Happy hour and you can WIN 1 Million, but only during that special time.NC Lottery
