“The lady across from me at the counter was taking too long so I went to the machine to buy there. I saw the amount and said, “Oh my God, it’s $100,000,” Charlotte native Debra Ross told North Carolina Education Lottery officials.
Ross, 61, is a network engineer and bought her scratch card for just $25 last Friday, as reported by a press release. “That was a good Friday, Good Friday,” said the lucky winner.
