Forsyth County woman stopped for drink, quenched thirst with $250,000 win

A quick stop for orange juice led Kelly Spahr of Kernersville to the first $250,000 top prize in a new scratch-off game.

“It’s a life-changing amount of money for us,” she said. “It really helps us out a lot.”

Spahr purchased her lucky $20 Merry Multiplier scratch-off from the Quality Mart on Piney Grove Road in Kernersville because she liked the look of the new ticket.

“When I was at the gas station I saw that there were new tickets out so I decided to try them,” Spahr recalled. “The ticket has a folding part on it which is what sold me on it.”

Spahr said the big win means a lot to her family.

“This just opened up some more doors for us,” Spahr said.

She collected her prize at lottery headquarters Tuesday and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $178,756.

“It’s nice to know that big wins like this really do happen,” Spahr said.

The Merry Multiplier game, a booklet of five scratch-off tickets, debuted this week with three $250,000 top prizes. Two $250,000 prizes remain to be claimed. All holiday scratch-offs also can be entered into the 2024 Holiday Second Chance promotion. The promotion features a Feb. 5 drawing to win a $250,000 top prize, 10 $10,000 prizes, and 100 $500 prizes.

Congratulations and A "Merry Early Christmas" to you and your family. Now to the lottery. I thought new scratch offs were to come out every first tuesday. Why is it when you go to get them, I can see them not there then but a ?week or two later! What's up with this? Then the store tells you they have to wait and make room..to put them out.NC Lottery
Hi, Deborah! Our goal is that every lottery retailer will receive and display the latest games by First Tuesday each month. However, this can sometimes be dependent on the retailer and their individual inventory space. If you can't find the new games you're looking for from one retailer, we recommend checking with a different retailer or visiting a lottery vending machine!
