$30 Scratch-Off Delivers $100,000 Payday for Greensboro Woman
The North Carolina Education Lottery has crowned its first six-figure winner of the week, handing a massive jackpot to a lucky player in Greensboro.
From $30 Ticket to $72K Cash Home
Greensboro resident Sarah Caldwell decided to test her luck with a $30 MAX-A-MILLION scratch-off ticket purchased at Aly USA on South Regional Road. While she missed the game’s $1 million top jackpot, Caldwell snagged a huge $100,000 second-tier prize.
She officially claimed her prize at lottery headquarters on Monday, walking away with $72,018 in cash after federal and state taxes.
The MAX-A-MILLION game launched with 25 $1 million top prizes and 10 $100,000 second-tier prizes. Following Caldwell’s win, 12 top prizes and 5 $100,000 prizes remain in circulation.
