Clemmons woman wins $100,000 after buying $3 scratch-off at Winston-Salem Lowe’s Foods on Peters Creek Parkway

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (WGHP) — Stephanie Coulter, of Clemmons, waited for her husband and son to get home to surprise them with the news of her $100,000 Powerball win.

“I was waiting for them when they walked in the door,” Coulter said. “I didn’t want to tell them over the phone.”

Coulter bought her winning $3 Power Play ticket from the Lowe’s Foods on Peters Creek Parkway in Winston-Salem.

“That’s the grocery store we go to every week,” she said. “You always hear about people winning in random places, but I didn’t expect it to be there.”

She matched the numbers on four white balls and the red Powerball to win $50,000 in Saturday’s drawing.

Her prize doubled to $100,000 when the 2X multiplier hit.

“I was in disbelief,” she said.

Coulter’s ticket became one of four that won big prizes Saturday.

A second $3 Power Play ticket purchased in Fayetteville won $100,000, and $2 tickets from Concord and Winston-Salem won $50,000.

Coulter arrived in Raleigh on Wednesday to claim her winnings.

After required federal and state tax withholdings, she took home $71,501.

She said she plans to use her winnings to take a trip to New York, pay for her children’s college and invest.
