LEXINGTON, N.C. (WGHP) — Emily Praytor, of Lexington, won a $100,000 lottery prize on Friday, according to an NC Education Lottery news release.

“He said, ‘I hope you win on number 55,’” Praytor said. “That was the winning number on my ticket.”
She bought her winning $30 MAX-A-MILLION ticket from the Quality Mart on Cotton Grove Road in Lexington.
“I was like, ‘Did we really win this?’” Praytor said. “I couldn’t believe it.”
She arrived at lottery headquarters on Monday to claim her prize.

“This is pretty awesome,” she said.
