Curtis Carrington of Rougemont entered a second-chance drawing and won a $100,000 prize.
Carrington found out he won his prize in the first of four $8 Million Money Maker Second Chance drawings when he got an email notification from the lottery. There were 979,465 total entries in the drawing.
He arrived at lottery headquarters Monday to collect his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $71,750.
Players get a second chance with their $8 Million Money Maker scratch-offs by scanning them into their lottery accounts where they are automatically entered into the drawing. The drawing had one top prize of $1 million, three $100,000 prizes, 10 $25,000 winners and 50 winners of $500.
