0:00It's April 30th. From your city to your ears, this is Durham News Today, powered by AI. A carry guy just cashed in big on a scratch-off lottery ticket, walking away with a $100,000 jackpot. Aiman Abu Hamman grabbed the top prize from a $30 cash payday ticket he picked up at an Exxon on Newburn Avenue in Raleigh. He swung by lottery headquarters in Raleigh on Wednesday to collect it all. After state and federal taxes took their cut, he pocketed $72,018. The cash payday game kicked off back in March, packing 80 of those $100,000 prizes into the mix. Abu Hamid marks the 10th winner so far, which means 70 jackpots are still out there for someone else to snag. Lottery folks say the game's still hot, so if you're playing in North Carolina, your ticket could be the next big one.
