A recent lucky streak playing the lottery culminated in a $200,000 top prize win for Wonis Davis of Henderson.

“I’ve had some awesome luck with scratch-offs,” he said. “I actually won $500 the day before too.”

Davis said he initially thought he just won $1,000, but he kept seeing zeros.

“I started scratching and I see zero, zero, zero, then a comma and more zeros,” he laughed.

Davis bought his lucky $5 Bankroll ticket from Bunn Pit Stop on Main Street in Bunn.

He arrived at lottery headquarters Wednesday to claim his prize and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $130,198.

Davis said he plans to use his winnings for ‘business and growth.’

The Bankroll game debuted in March with five top prizes of $200,000. Three $200,000 prizes remain to be claimed.

Ok NCEL where are the trips for NC lottery? They are way overdue. What kind of game is this? Thousands of players play trips every day and y'all drop one trip in 6 months. Really make the game make sense. Ya'll can do better.!!!!!NC Lottery
Hi, Shirley! The odds of a particular triple coming out in a Pick 3 drawing are the same in each and every drawing -- exactly 1 in 1,000. Those odds never change, no matter how recently or long ago a triple came out. We love it when popular numbers come up at random, because that means our players win a bunch of prizes! But for draw games to be fair, every number has to have the same chance of being drawn.
