FUQUAY-VARINA, N.C. (Gray News) – One lucky lottery winner in North Carolina said he will be buying a brand new car with his winnings.
The North Carolina Lottery said Roger Lundy won $100,000 in a Season-End Extravaganza second-chance drawing Wednesday. The drawing had more than 4.2 million entries.
Lundy has wanted a new car for years, and that dream will be coming true following winning $100,000.
“We really need a new car,” he said. “We might get a Hyundai Palisade.”
Lundy said he told his wife they won following he got an email notification Thursday morning.
“She thought I was pulling her leg,” he said. “We are both thrilled.”
Lundy went to the lottery headquarters Thursday to claim his prize, walking away with $71,500 following federal and state tax withholdings.
The Season-End Extravaganza drawing awarded three North Carolina lottery players with a $100,000 prize, although the North Carolina Lottery said the other two winnings have not been claimed yet.
