Players got a second chance with their Money Rush scratch-offs by scanning them into their accounts, which automatically enters them into the drawing. There are 10 $10,000 prizes and 15 $5,000 prizes along with Lunsford’s top prize of $100,000.
Proceeds from games like Money Rush and others offered by the North Carolina Education Lottery raised nearly $8 million for education programs in Orange County last year.
