A late-night grocery store run to satisfy a dessert craving ended in a $100,000 windfall for a Tennessee woman over the weekend.
A hankering for pie led Diana Chabrier to the Food Lion on U.S. 1 in Franklinton Saturday night. But when the pie she was looking for was unavailable, she decided to purchase a different kind of sweet treat: a $30 200X The Cash ticket from the Food Lion.
"They didn't have my pie so I got a [lottery] ticket instead," Chabrier said in a new release from The North Carolina Education Lottery. "I can't say the name of the pie, or it will sell out."
The next morning, Chabrier checked the scratch-off ticket with her husband and daughter.
"I thought the ticket said 20X," Chabrier recalled. "My daughter was like, 'mom that doesn't say 20.'"
After taking a picture with her phone so she could zoom in, Chabrier realized it was 200X—and that she had won $100,000.

"I'm just so grateful," she said. "This will really take the weight off my husband's shoulders."
Chabrier said she plans to use her winnings to pay bills…and finally get her pie.
Enjoy!
