Steven Hair of North Carolina had the best birthday ever when he was gifted a $5.00 scratch ticket which got him a brand new Corvette and $100K
Steven Hair of Troy received the gift of a lifetime when he won a CorvetteĀ® Stingray and a $100,000 cash prize on his 66th birthday.
āYou canāt get a better birthday,ā he said. āIt will never be forgotten. I donāt think it can be topped!ā
Troyās partner at the Montgomery County Humane Society purchased a few tickets for him as a birthday gift from the Quik Chek on Zoo Parkway in Asheboro.
On Monday night, Hair celebrated his birthday with family and friends. āWe had dinner,ā he recalled. āAnd then she presented me with my tickets and, as we scratched them off, one of the $5 tickets won me a Corvette and $100,000.ā
This is the first time the lottery has offered a CorvetteĀ® Stingray as a prize on a scratch-off ticket. Winners get to choose a 2021 model, or a current available model, and pick their favorite options, to bring home a sports car with a value of up to $109,600.
āIām thinking red,ā said Hair of his sportscar color of choice. āAmazing it was my birthday that it happened. This is the ultimate prize. Itās a birthday that you canāt replicate.”
Hair claimed his prize Tuesday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh and took home $70,751 after required federal and state tax withholdings.
āIām thinking about buying a new house with part of that,ā he said of the prize money. āPut a good down payment on a brand-new house.ā
CorvetteĀ® & Cash launched this month with four top prizes of a CorvetteĀ® Stingrayā¢ plus a $100,000 cash prize. Three top prizes remain to be won.
All CorvetteĀ® & Cash tickets can be entered into a second-chance drawing to win the same prize package. The date of the drawing has not been set.
Congratulations Steven and Happy Birthday!
