In North Carolina Lottery Husband Won $100K But Wife Couldn’t Believe

Shivers had been telling his family, “I always told my family I was going to win one day,” according to a North Carolina Education Lottery news release.

Shivers decided to test his lucky hunch and put his money where his mouth was. He purchased a $30 ticket for the new 200X The Cash game, a decision that defied the odds of 1 in 1,481,823 and landed him a life-changing $100,000 prize!

Shivers himself admitted to North Carolina lottery officials, “I called my wife and she thought I was joking.” And then to tell this winning news Shivers sent a cryptic group text announcing, “I finally did it.”

After claiming his prize (a cool $71,509 after taxes), Shivers revealed a financial plan that combined responsible choices with a touch of indulgence. First things first – bills are getting paid off! But then, Shivers will fulfill a long-held dream: building his very own metal shop right in his backyard. Talk about turning a hunch into a reality!

This win also marks a milestone for the 200X The Cash game, with Shivers being the first who win the $100,000 prize. He purchased his lucky ticket at a Circle K in Winterville, just a short drive north of his Ayden home.
