North Carolina Guy Just Won $100,000 in the Lottery—Again. No Big Deal.

North Carolina Guy Just Won $100,000 in the Lottery—Again. No Big Deal.

Monday, November 18, 2024

Here’s a feel-good story to spice up your morning coffee: Sheldon Capps, a man from Hendersonville, North Carolina, just snagged another fat $100,000 win on a lottery scratch-off ticket. And, believe it or not, it’s his second six-figure haul. That’s right, second. This guy has the kind of luck the rest of us dream about.

Back in 2020, Sheldon pulled in $200,000 from a Bonus Bucks ticket. This time? He picked up a $5 "Fire" ticket at Norm’s Minit Mart (yes, that’s a real place) on Spartanburg Highway, scratched it off, and boom—$100k. You’ve got to admire the guy’s knack for picking winning tickets.

Of course, Uncle Sam took his share, so Sheldon walked away with a cool $71,501 after taxes. But, as luck would have it, Sheldon snagged that win just in time because the Lottery’s pulling the "Fire" game. And if you’re feeling a little bold, there’s still some treasure left: two out of seven $100,000 top prizes are still out there, waiting for someone to crack open a ticket before November 21.

Odds of winning anything? A lovely 1 in 4.36. So go ahead, try your luck. Maybe you’ll be the next Sheldon Capps...or at least get your coffee paid for.
