Mom’s $20,000 prize to pay for son’s college education

March 8, 2013 Posted by NC Lottery at 10:10 AM

A $20,000 lottery winner from Duplin County says she’ll use some of the prize money to pay for her son’s college education. Denitia Wilson of Warsaw scratched off the instant prize playing the Power 7’s instant game.

Wilson, who works in the food service industry, collected her winnings at the lottery’s regional claim center in Wilmington. There, she said she was excited when she realized she won the prize. Wilson purchased her winning ticket for $5 at the El Mariachi Gordo store on South Pine Street in Warsaw.

The Power 7’s game started Jan. 2. As of March 8, four top prizes of $200,000, five prizes of $20,000, and many more prizes remain to be claimed in the game.

@ PLAYER (S1) & RICH - Notification of winners in Lucke-Rewards drawings usually begins within 48 hours of the drawing date. Winners must respond to our notification - first we attempt e-mail, then phone, then certified mail. Then the winner must complete the claim process before any announcement is made. This process can take many days. We understand why folks interested and excited to know - we work as quickly as we can to provide accurate information.

When are the 3/6/2013 winners going to be notified. Still waiting.

If I don't get an email or phone call within a few days of the drawing, I assume I did not win. That is a pretty simple assumption. Unless I am missing something ! Am I correct ?
