‘I just had a feeling': Davidson County man wins $100K from $50 scratch-off
LEXINGTON, N.C. (WGHP) — David Michael says he just had a good feeling when he purchased a $50 scratch-off that won him $100,000. 'I figured it would happen sooner or later,' said. 'I just had a feeling.' He purchased an $8 Million Money Maker from the Fast Fuels on Randolph Street in Thomasville. 'I actually wasn't going to go to the store that night because I was feeling a little sick, but I forced myself to go,' he laughed. Michael was in for a shock when he went home and started scratching his ticket. 'I saw a couple zeroes then another and another,' he recalled. 'I got lucky.' Michael arrived at lottery headquarters on Wednesday to collect his prize and took home $71,764 after required state and federal tax withholdings. He plans to use his winnings to build a pier on the lake where he lives. The $8 Million Money Maker game debuted in December with five $8 million top prizes and 10 $100,000 prizes. Four $8 million prizes and seven $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
