RALEIGH – Dorothy Elliott of Wilson is the latest winner of $100,000 in the lottery’s Millionaire 7’s game. She purchased her lucky $10 ticket at the Haroon Food Mart on U.S. 301 South in Wilson.
After required state and federal withholdings, Elliott received a check for $69,203.
As of Tuesday afternoon, seven $1 million prizes, five $100,000 prizes – and many other prizes – remain to be claimed in the Millionaire 7’s game.
Ticket sales have made it possible for the lottery to raise more than $3.4 billion for the state. North Carolina Education Lottery net proceeds will be used this year to help pay salaries of teachers and teacher assistants, for pre-kindergarten programs for at-risk four-year-olds, school construction and repair, and need-based college scholarships and financial aid.
