$30 Scratch-off Ticket Pays $100,000 Prize
Everybody I’m talking to lately speaks about winning the lottery, and me too! Mahmoud Asmar of Mount Holly got lucky when he took a chance on a $30 scratch-off ticket and won a $100,000 prize. Asmar bought his lucky Fabulous Fortune ticket from Pilot Monroe on U.S. 74 and Chamber Drive in Monroe. The more you read about winners, they buy scratch-off from mini-marts. He collected his prize at lottery headquarters Monday and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $71,019. Yes, we will have to drive to the lottery headquarters to collect larger winnings.
Fabulous Fortune debuted in July with six $3 million prizes and 18 $100,000 prizes. Two $3 million top prizes and 10 $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed. Ticket sales from scratch-offs make it possible for the lottery to raise $2.5 million a day on average for education.
