Brittaney Dominguez of Winfield, Ala., told North Carolina Education Lottery officials she was visiting a friend in her home state of North Carolina when she bought a $20 Mega 7's scratch-off ticket from VGO 28 on North Reilly Road in Fayetteville.
Dominguez took the ticket back to her friend's house and scratched off the $2 million top prize.
"I just couldn't believe it," Dominguez recalled. "It didn't really register."
Dominguez took her ticket back to the store to double-check her win.

"The store clerk gave me a huge hug," Dominguez said. "I told her she was my good luck charm."
Dominguez said her winnings will allow her to buy a house and move back to North Carolina. She said she is also considering making investments and starting a food truck business.
