Jason Angus of Hickory tried his luck in a second-chance drawing and won a $100,000 prize.

Angus won his prize in the third of four $8 Million Money Maker Second Chance drawings. There were over 1.5 million total entries in the drawing.

Players get a second chance with their $8 Million Money Maker scratch-offs by scanning them into their lottery accounts where they are automatically entered into the drawing. The drawing had one top prize of $1 million, three $100,000 prizes, 10 $25,000 winners and 50 winners of $500.

Angus arrived at lottery headquarters Thursday to claim his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $72,010.

Lol, NCEL please give keep giving me the PlaySmart reward points for your flaky, rigged drawings. And I'll keep posting the truth of how detrimental your cheating is to society. Shame to you and the government for allowing it to continue.
