Vickie Woolard of Kitty Hawk is celebrating her good fortune after she won the last $1 million prize in the Ultimate Millions scratch-off game.

Woolard bought the $30 ticket at the Duck Thru Food Store on South Croatan Highway in Nags Head.

She claimed her prize Wednesday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. She had the choice of taking a $1 million annuity that has 20 payments of $50,000 a year or a lump sum of $600,000. Woolard chose the lump sum, and after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $417,015.

The ticket launched in September 2015 with four top prizes of $10 million and 18 prizes of $1 million. All four top prizes have been claimed and Woolard claimed the last $1 million prize, which means the lottery will take steps to end the game.

Ticket sales from games like Ultimate Millions made it possible for the lottery to raise more than $600 million for the state last year. For details on how lottery funds have made a difference in Dare County, click on the “For Education” section of the lottery’s website.
