The Ticket That Changed Everything
So here’s the scoop: Deneisha snagged her lucky ticket from the Hop-In store located on Caratoke Highway in Grandy. When she scratched off that ticket, her eyes must have practically popped out of her head! After all, how often does someone win big like that?
Claiming the Winnings
Deneisha made her way to the lottery headquarters on Wednesday to officially claim her windfall.

The Exciting $10 Million Spectacular
Now, let’s talk about the lottery game itself—the $10 Million Spectacular. This thrilling game debuted back in December and comes with some pretty enticing prizes: five top prizes of $10 million, along with twenty chances to win $1 million and another twenty chances for the $100,000 prizes. Currently, three of those ten million dollar prizes, six million dollar prizes, and six $100,000 prizes are still up for grabs. So if you’re feeling lucky, why not give it a shot?

Additionally, in a bit of a hiccup for residents, a water main break has been reported in Avon. Customers in the area are asked to conserve water while the issue is being resolved. It’s a friendly reminder that while we can celebrate good fortune, we also need to stay aware of the needs of our community!
