A man in North Carolina is still in shock after hitting it big with a winning scratch-off lottery ticket.
Jeremy Pruitt, of Wilkes County, purchased a lottery ticket in the the $150 Million Cash Explosion scratch-off game while recently at the Run-In on Oakwoods Road in Wilkesboro, according to the North Carolina Education Lottery. After scratching the ticket while still inside the store, he found that his $20 purchase was a good investment. Oh Lord, I felt like karate kid, he said. I just started crying when it happened.
As it turns out, Pruitt won a large prize of $100,000. He remembers scratching the ticket and seeing the shocking number, calling it crazy. He claimed his prize at lottery headquarters in Raleigh Thursday (May 13), taking home a total of $70,756 after taxes.
