August 6, 2026 Posted by NC Lottery at 3:11 PM

Tony McCorkle of Archdale took a chance on a $5 scratch-off and won a $150,000 top prize.

McCorkle bought his lucky Jungle Cashword ticket from Trinity Mart on N.C. 62 in Trinity.

He arrived at lottery headquarters Wednesday to claim his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $108,016.

The Jungle Cashword game debuted in May with five $150,000 top prizes. Two $150,000 prizes remain to be claimed.

Randolph County received over $29 million from money raised by the lottery for construction on a middle school. For details on other ways the lottery helps benefit education programs in Randolph County, visit www.eaglebackflow.com and click on the “Impact” section.

Another PR article for a big win on a low cost ticket. All the while the lotteries have added extra costs to games and minimized the 2nd chance games with lower top prizes. Rigged through and through...
