First stop Disney World for finance director Powerball lottery winner
/
Steven Coleman, from Fayetteville, won $100,000 in a Powerball draw and is heading off with his daughter to Disney World.
A North Carolina man will take his daughter to Disney World with the $100,000 he won in a Powerball drawing on March 9.
Finance director Steven Coleman, from Fayetteville, realized he won when he was checking weekly tickets at a Circle V Mart, said the North Carolina Education Lottery in a press release.

“My daughter and I were heading out of the store when I stopped and thought, ‘wait a minute,’” Coleman told lottery officials.
As he checked the Powerball ticket, he saw a message telling him to go to lottery headquarters.
He checked again that the ticket was worth $100,000, signed it and headed home, the release said.
The numbers on Coleman’s $3 ticket matched four white balls and the red ball to win him $50,000, but that prize was doubled because he had a Power Play ticket and the 2X multiplier was drawn.

Coleman went to the North Carolina Education Lottery headquarters on March 14, and took home $71,017 after federal and state tax withholdings.
Coleman told lottery officials he was going to hold the ticket for several months before claiming the prize, but obviously changed his mind.
Coleman’s daughter is very excited to go to Disney World, a NC Lottery press release said. “We’ll probably go this summer,” Coleman said.
