Davidson County man on $100,000 win: “I just had a feeling”

David Michael of Lexington felt a big lottery win coming and he got it when a $50 scratch-off delivered a $100,000 prize.

“I figured it would happen sooner or later,” Michael said. “I just had a feeling.”

He bought his lucky $8 Million Money Maker ticket from the Fast Fuels on Randolph Street in Thomasville.

“I actually wasn’t going to go to the store that night because I was feeling a little sick, but I forced myself to go,” he laughed.

Michael then went home and started scratching his ticket.

“I saw a couple zeroes then another and another,” he recalled. “I got lucky.”

Michael arrived at lottery headquarters Wednesday to collect his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $71,764.

He plans to use his winnings to build a pier on the lake where he lives.

The $8 Million Money Maker game debuted in December with five $8 million top prizes and 10 $100,000 prizes. Four $8 million prizes and seven $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed.
