Catawba County man bags $100,000 second-chance win

Jason Angus of Hickory tried his luck in a second-chance drawing and won a $100,000 prize.

Angus won his prize in the third of four $8 Million Money Maker Second Chance drawings. There were over 1.5 million total entries in the drawing.

Players get a second chance with their $8 Million Money Maker scratch-offs by scanning them into their lottery accounts where they are automatically entered into the drawing. The drawing had one top prize of $1 million, three $100,000 prizes, 10 $25,000 winners and 50 winners of $500.

Angus arrived at lottery headquarters Thursday to claim his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $72,010.
