(Trends Wide) — A couple’s dream wedding is coming true after a North Carolina man won the first top prize of $150,000 in a recently launched scratch card game.
This is the first time a winner has claimed the top prize since the game launched earlier this month.
Alfred Harrell had promised his partner the perfect wedding, according to a press release from the North Carolina Lottery.
“Almost a year has passed and those promises will now come true,” he said in the press release.
Harrell was refueling when he stopped at a Circle K in Cary, North Carolina, and bought a winning $5 Super Lottery ticket.
“I’m still trying to process it,” Harrell said. “If he had gone the other way and hadn’t put gas in there, he wouldn’t have won.”
Now Harrell and his fiancée are looking for venues to accommodate what they hope will be a “big family celebration.”
“May has definitely been good for us,” he said, noting that he also met his fiancée two years ago in the same month. “I want to take care of her first.”
Harrell took home $106,876 of the $150,000 prize after taxes.
The Super Lottery debuted on May 2 with six top prizes of $150,000, according to the press release. There are five prizes of this amount up for grabs.
