North Carolina resident receives significant windfall from $50 lottery scratch-off ticket, pocketing an impressive $100,000 victory
The North Carolina Education Lottery's latest offering, the $8 Million Money Maker game, has been creating quite a buzz since its launch on December 3, 2024. This exciting scratch-off game offers a range of prizes, with the top prize standing at a staggering $8 million.
Interestingly, there are three top prizes of $8 million up for grabs in the game. However, one lucky winner from Newton, North Carolina, named William Wheeler, has already claimed one of the lower-tier prizes. Wheeler won $100,000 on a $8 Million Money Maker scratch-off ticket he purchased at Fast Phil’s convenience store in Statesville, NC.
In a heartwarming gesture, Wheeler chose to gift his winnings to his wife. This isn't the first time the game has brought joy to its players. After a recent $100,000 win, there are now six $100,000 prizes available in the game.
The game offers a variety of prizes in the lower tiers, with amounts ranging between $25,000 and $100 remaining in play. The overall odds of winning any prize from the $50 scratch-off game are 1 in 4.14, making it an exciting prospect for many.
The odds of winning a tier-two prize of $100,000 from the $50 scratch-off game are 1 in 1,521,132. Despite these long odds, the game's thrill and potential for life-changing wins continue to draw players in.
With three top prizes still unclaimed, the excitement around the $8 Million Money Maker game is palpable. As more winners emerge and the top prizes remain elusive, one can't help but wonder who the next lucky winner will be. Could it be you?
