A Life-Altering Win for a Charlotte Resident

A woman from Charlotte, North Carolina, has emerged victorious, claiming the top prize from the $10 Million Spectacular Second Chance drawing. This lucky individual has secured a life-altering prize of $1 million. With this substantial win, the Charlotte resident is now planning for her retirement.

A North Carolina woman is eagerly anticipating her retirement after winning a transformative second-chance prize. The North Carolina Education Lottery, the entity responsible for managing lottery games and scratch-off ticket sales in the state, announced that a resident of Charlotte has achieved a life-changing second-chance victory.

The Player Still Can’t Believe Her Good Fortune

The lucky woman participated in the $10 Million Spectacular Second Chance drawing and, much to her astonishment, emerged victorious with the top prize of $1 million.

• Chosen from more than 1.9 million entries submitted for this particular second-chance drawing.
• This was the third of four second-chance drawings for the game.

The fortunate winner recently visited the headquarters of the North Carolina Education Lottery to claim her substantial prize.

She was presented with the option of receiving the full $1 million through annuity payments of $50,000 annually for the next 20 years or opting for a single cash payout. Not surprisingly, she opted for the latter, receiving a one-time cash payment of $600,000. After accounting for state and federal taxes, the Charlotte resident’s total winnings slightly decreased to $430,500.

In conversation with a Lottery official, the lucky winner expressed her disbelief, saying, ‘This is crazy. It’s just wild. It still hasn’t set in yet that this is real.’ She also mentioned, ‘I always had lots of hopes and dreams.’ When asked about her plans for the windfall, the winner revealed her intentions to settle her mortgage and focus on planning her retirement.
