North Carolina man wins $2 million after buying scratch-off at gas station

In a stroke of luck, Toy McLeod of Aberdeen, North Carolina, hit the jackpot with a $2 million prize on a $20 scratch-off ticket.

The winning ticket, a 100X The Cash scratch-off, was purchased at the Speedway on N.C. 5 in Aberdeen. Presented with the option to receive the prize as a $100,000 annuity over 20 years or a lump sum of $1.2 million, McLeod opted for the lump sum.

After state and federal tax withholdings, he took home a substantial $858,006. This remarkable win at the start of the year brings an unexpected windfall to the fortunate McLeod.
