Rosa Lilly of Mount Gilead had a chance to spin a giant prize wheel Wednesday at the Bigger $pin Live Event and she landed on a $2 million prize, the top prize offered in the event.

Lilly told her daughter the night before that she was going to win the $2 million.

“I just had a feeling,” Lilly said.

Lilly, a 67-year-old retired certified nursing assistant, became the first $2 million winner in the history of the Bigger $pin Live Event.

“I’m so excited right now it just feels great,” Lilly said.

Lilly’s stroke of good fortune started when she bought her $10 Bigger $pin scratch-off from Wilder Grocery on North Main Street in Mount Gilead.

“I was so happy, that was my lucky day,” Lilly said.

Lilly originally received $50,000 when she first won her prize. After her big spin Wednesday, she received an additional $1,950,000 and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, she took home $1,420,274.

She said she plans to use her winnings to take a vacation to the Bahamas, remodel her house, buy a new Lexus, and give some money to her church and her family.

Lilly is the fourth person to get a chance to win one of the $2 million prizes. At the first event in November, a retired Greensboro postal worker won $900,000 and a Durham cook won $400,000. At the second event in January, a manufacturing plant worker from Fayetteville won $500,000.

Two more chances to win $2 million are up for grabs. One more person can win a turn at the prize wheel on the scratch-off and another person can win a turn in a second-chance drawing. All Bigger $pin tickets can be entered into the drawing.

Ticket sales from scratch-off games make it possible for the lottery to raise more than $900 million per year for education. The state provided a $2.65 million grant, using money raised by the lottery, to help Montgomery County with school construction.
