Amy Douglas of Cameron became emotional when a $20 scratch-off purchase turned into a $100,000 prize.
“I cried,” Douglas said.
She bought her lucky $2,000,000 Diamond Deluxe ticket from the Prince Mart on Wilson Road in Sanford.
“We bought it because it looked pretty,” Douglas laughed.
She arrived at lottery headquarters Wednesday to claim her prize and, after required tax withholdings, took home $71,506.
Douglas said she plans to use her winnings to pay some bills and pay off her mortgage.
The $2,000,000 Diamond Deluxe game debuted in December with four $2 million top prizes and eight $100,000 prizes. Four $2 million prizes and six $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed.
