A woman from North Carolina has won $2 million on the Mega 7's scratch-off ticket game.
The lucky winner, identified as Betsy Dominguez bought the winning ticket for $20 from the VGO 28 convenience store on North Reilly Road while visiting a friend in Fayetteville.
She started scratching the ticket at her friend's house and was in disbelief when she realized she had won.
"It didn’t really register," she said, according to a news release from the N.C. Education Lottery.
She chose to take a lump sum of $1.2 million instead of receiving $100,000 per year for 20 years and after the required state and federal tax withholdings, she took home $854,633.
She plans to use her winnings to pay off her house and bills, and take a vacation.
