Greenville man called his mom screaming after $250,000 win
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCT) — David Harvard of Greenville wanted to immediately tell someone after a $5 scratch-off turned into a $250,000 top prize.
'I called my mom first screaming that I won,' Harvard said. Harvard bought his lucky 20X The Cash scratch-off from the Speedway on W. Fire Tower Road in Winterville. 'It's really a blessing,' Harvard said.
Harvard said his prize at lottery headquarters Friday and after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $179,376.
The 20X The Cash game debuted in February 2024 with 10 $250,000 top prizes. One $250,000 prize remains to be claimed.
