CHARLOTTE MAN WINS $200,000 PLAYING EXTREME GREEN
January 10, 2012
Kendale Easterling, a janitor from Charlotte, said after winning $200,000 playing the new Extreme Green instant game that he may use his winnings to start his own cleaning service and to take his three kids on a Disney cruise.
Easterling discovered his good luck Friday night at his home after scratching the first of six instant tickets he had purchased at the Circle K located on North Graham Street in Charlotte. He said he had a hard time believing what he was seeing when one of the winning numbers, “23,” on the ticket matched one of his numbers, “23,” with the game’s $200,000 top prize.
“I looked and saw a ‘2 and a ‘3’ and I thought, ‘This can’t be real,’” Easterling said Monday. “Then, when I looked at it again, I said, ‘This is real.’ I never thought this would happen. Not a top prize.”
Easterling is the first person to claim the top prize in the game and received $136,001 after taxes were withheld. As of Tuesday, five more top prizes remain to be claimed in the game.
