WOO!

Ric Flair Is Honored With His Own Commemorative Lottery Tickets
By Will Brinson/Fanhouse

Ric Flair is an icon among wrestling fans, not only worldwide but in North Carolina as well. He's always appearing on the Carolina Panthers jumbotron, screaming something or another about not drinking and driving (WOO!) and he's been known to show up at college football games and tailgates across the state.

And now he's been honored with his own commemorative scratch-off lottery tickets, designed specifically to help the children of North Carolina become more smarter. Or something.



Lottery executive director Tom Shaheen said the ticket could help attract new players.

"We are always looking for ways to appeal to new players so we can maximize sales and generate as much money as possible for education."

The tickets feature SIXTEEN different scratchy areas, which represent the 16 separate championship belts that Flair won during his career. So, yeah, that's awesome.

Also awesome: the chance to win $100,000, which is the top payout for the Flair tix (on sale September 22, resident NC degenerates!).

For years we've been hearing Ric Flair talk about the limosuine riding', the jet flyin', the wheelin dealin' and kiss stealin' but now Flair is giving his fans a chance to join him in the ranks of the slightly wealthy. Its probably good I don't live in North Carolina or I spend my leftover Mexico money on as many Ric Flair scratch offs as I could buy. Maybe I could win enough to get a Ric Flair wig. I think platinum blonde would go well with my eyes.
