A pro wrestling fan is the first winner of North Carolina’s new $100,000 scratch-off lottery game featuring WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, according to Greensboro, North Carolina’s News-Record.com.
Frankie Shirley visited the Tobacco Shop on in Asheboro, NC this week and saw the new “Wooooooooo!” instant scratch-off game. As a long time fan of the Nature Boy, he decided to give it a shot and hit the $100,000 top prize.
Shirley told the N.C. Education Lottery he read the ticket about 10 times to make sure it was real.
After taxes, he’ll receive $68,001.60 of the $100,000 prize. He told the paper he may use some of his winnings for a trip, but most of it will go into savings.
