Stunned woman wins top NC lottery jackpot while in car. ‘I just stopped and sat there’
A North Carolina woman is “still in shock” after winning a jackpot lottery prize.
Jennifer Raynor bought a $5 Double Cash Doubler scratch-off ticket from a Speedway gas station on N.C. 41 in Wallace and played the ticket while in her car, according to a news release from the North Carolina Education Lottery.
She told lottery officials she “just stopped and sat there” when she saw she won a $200,000 top prize.
“I re-read the instructions to make sure I was seeing it correctly, because I didn’t believe it,” she told officials.
Raynor claimed her prize Wednesday in Raleigh and took home $141,501 after taxes.
She told lottery officials she plans to use the money to take a vacation and pay off her house.
The Double Cash Doubler game launched in April with six top prizes of $200,000, the lottery says. After Raynor’s win, one remains.
