Lillington Man Nabs $200k in Second Chance Lottery Drawing

Shane Phillips from Lillington, North Carolina, won a $200,000 prize in the last 200X The Cash second-chance lottery drawing on Feb. 4.

When he got to lottery headquarters, Phillips took home $143,500 after taxes. His winning entry was picked from over 1.6 million tickets submitted by hopeful players throughout North Carolina.

This drawing finished off a series of second-chance drawings for players to win big, including one $1 million prize, one $200,000 prize, and 25 $500 prizes.

The win came at a perfect time for Harnett County, which just got $10 million in lottery money. These funds will help build a new elementary school, showing how lottery tickets support local education.
