Johnston County Woman Wins $100,000 Lottery Prize — First Thought: Her Mom
KENLY – Schuprell Hinnant of Kenly first thought of her mother after winning a $100,000 lottery prize.
“I called my mom and said, ‘I think I won,’” Hinnant said. “She was in disbelief.”
Hinnant said she sat in her car staring at the ticket for a while.
“I was just like, ‘This isn’t real,’” Hinnant recalled.
She bought her lucky $30 MAX-A-MILLION ticket from Papa Jacks Store on N.C. 42 West in Kenly. Hinnant could barely believe her eyes when she scratched the ticket.
“I did about three or four takes,” Hinnant laughed.
She arrived at lottery headquarters Monday to claim her prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $71,758.
Hinnant plans to use her winnings to help her mom get a screened-in porch for her house.

I wish these articles would not be posted here. They are misleading, causing some to think that the lottery is the way to succeed. The facts is that yes someone will win but 99.9999% or even worse will only lose. Instead of buying lotto, invest your money in a brokerage account in something like a mutual or index fund. Is it guaranteed to succeed, no, but your chances of gain are higher than chance of loss. Stop playing a dumb game designed for people who are bad at math.
Only a moron would believe that the lottery would fix their problems.
What time should I come over for dinner Aunt Schuprell?
