North Carolina Mom Wins $707K, Going to Disney World Next
Key Points
- Scooping a six-figure prize means that one lucky Charlotte mom would be able to take her kids to Disney World - and more
Jennifer Orbock was a casual lottery player, but then good fortune struck, making her a very lucky player indeed. She bought a $1 digital instant ticket almost by chance, and never thought of it, but then the news hit her – she had just won $707,600 – the jackpot!
The Alakazam level progressive jackpot for Magic Winnings has a 1 in 64.5 million chance of dropping, making Orbock’s feat all the more surprising! She didn’t hesitate to scoop up the prize money in one lump sum, too, opting for the $509,543-after-tax option.
Joking about her win, Orbock told the lottery that she always thought she had “jackpot DNA.” Better yet for the family, the Charlotte mom is taking them to Disney World.
“We are taking the kids to Disney,” she confirmed. A couple in Melbourne, Australia, also recently added to the lottery and jackpot headlines, having won approximately $840,000.
