North Carolina resident secures $1 million windfall from a $10 lottery ticket
In a thrilling turn of events, Adrian Locklear, a resident of Lumberton, Robeson County, North Carolina, has won one of the top prizes from the 50X The Cash scratch-off game. The game, which debuted earlier this year, features six top prizes of $1 million.
Locklear purchased the winning ticket from Moe's Mini Mart, located on Prospect Road in Pembroke, North Carolina. After tax, he took home $430,503. The North Carolina Education Lottery announced his win in a recent release.
Locklear is not the only lucky winner in the 50X The Cash game. As of the time of this writing, there are two $1 million prizes remaining in the game.
Meanwhile, in Ohio, a lottery player won $300,000 from a $10 White Diamonds scratch-off ticket. The winning ticket was sold at Norton BP.
In a heartwarming story from Canada, an Ontarian couple, Joe Menard, along with his wife Lise Menard, from Cache Bay, won a staggering $34 million from a lottery ticket. The win took over three decades of marriage to materialize. The couple cashed in their winning ticket during a date night.
Elsewhere in Illinois, a man won $200,000 from a 7X Bingo Multiplier ticket.
The 50X The Cash game, launched in January, is still offering two chances to win a life-changing $1 million prize. With two top prizes still up for grabs, the excitement continues to build.
