William Everett of Southport took a chance on a $30 scratch-off and won a $100,000 top prize.

Everett bought his lucky $100,000 Cash Payday scratch-off from Rosie's Gas & Grill on Long Beach Road in Southport.

He arrived at lottery headquarters Wednesday to claim his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $72,018.

The $100,000 Cash Payday game debuted in March with 80 $100,000 top prizes. Sixty-one $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed.

@NCEL why can't you enter a PROMO CODE when depositing money via Digital Cash...It's still money and you all are not giving anything free when you use that method like you were at the start?
