Gage Fairchild works long, 12-hour shifts at a steel mill. One weekend, the Pittsboro man was off work and stopped for gas when he purchased a $50 50X the Money Scratch-off.

He took the ticket home to scratch it. When he saw that he had won the $100,000 top prize, he was shocked.

He told his wife, who was home with him, but it took some convincing to get her to believe it was real. 
Gage and his wife plan to take a much overdue vacation with the prize money. 

$50 50X the Money Estimated Odds: 1 in 4.26
