What started as a quick grocery stop turned into a $100,000 surprise win for Cary resident Vijaya Sundararaj—and it all came down to a single scratch-off ticket.
💰 The Big Moment
Sundararaj picked up a $30 200X The Cash scratch-off during a routine visit to a Wegmans in Morrisville. That casual purchase paid off in a big way. After state and federal taxes were taken out, she walked away with $72,018 in winnings.
She officially claimed her prize at the North Carolina Education Lottery headquarters in Raleigh earlier this week.
🛒 Where It Happened
- Ticket purchased at Wegmans on Davis Drive in Morrisville
- Store location: 3710 Davis Drive

What seemed like an ordinary grocery run quickly turned into a life-changing moment.
