$100,000 lottery jackpot
A woman visiting her grandfather in North Carolina took her elder's advice and ended up winning a $100,000 lottery jackpot.
She said she usually only buys $1 scratch-off lottery tickets, but during a trip to Hawfields General Store in Mebane her grandfather urged her to take a chance on a $20 ticket.
Raney selected a $20 Ruby Red 7's ticket and returned to her grandfather's home, where they both scratched off lottery tickets and she discovered she had won a $100,000 prize.
"Maybe he's not so crazy for playing the lottery after all," Raney said while visiting lottery headquarters Wednesday in Raleigh. "I guess I owe him dinner. Good job, granddad."
The winner said her prize money will go toward staring a college fund for her son and saving up to buy a home.
