dazzler

The festival’s juiciest titles are often the discoveries, and that was certainly the case for my favorite world premiere this year: “The Gullspang Miracle,” a dazzler in the documentary competition.

His 2021 winning ticket was purchased just two miles from his home in Advance, North Carolina, whereas the Diamond Dazzler ticket was purchased four and a half hours away in Morehead City, North Carolina.

The lottery has an answer — only one in every 1,528,470 Diamond Dazzler tickets is a maximum winning $2 million ticket, with six such tickets being issued when it launched in January 2022.

Less than two years later, he won again, this time a $2 million payoff off a $20 Diamond Dazzler scratch-off ticket.

Darnell Washington came up big with four catches for 78 yards, including a one-handed dazzler.
