REIDSVILLE, N.C. — Patricia Neal of Reidsville bought a scratch-off ticket Sunday night with her husband and couldn’t believe it when she saw a $100,000 prize.
“We saw all those zeroes and were like, ‘Is this for real?’” she recalled. “We were so shocked.”
Neal purchased her $20 100X The Cash ticket from the Freeway Mart on Freeway Drive in Reidsville.
“We really needed this,” Neal said.
Neal took home $71,256 after taxes.
“I'm still just amazed right now,” she shared. “I’m so happy.”
Neal said she plans to use the prize winnings to pay bills.
