Some folks won by scratching and others by matching. But when the week ended,
lottery players had claimed $18 million in prizes from Thursday, June 13 through Thursday, June 20th. More than $13 million was awarded to instant players and $5 million to players of draw games.
Donald Hildebran of Hickory said he will take a beach trip soon after winning the top prize of $200,000 in the new $200,000 Extreme Cash game. He became the second person to claim the game’s top prize. Two top prizes remain to be claimed.
This week, the $4,000,000 Gold Bullion game produced its third $1 million winner. The lucky player was Leonard Hipkins of Kannapolis. There are still four $1 million prizes and two $4 million prizes to be claimed in this game. Good luck in finding those big prizes.
Congratulations are in order for all those folks who played 4-4-4 when that popular combination of numbers came up in the afternoon drawing of the Carolina Pick 3 game on Friday, June 14th. Those players collected $2.1 million in prizes. It was the second time this year that trips – all 7’s on May 13 - have come up as the winning numbers in the Pick 3 game.
Four lucky tickets matched their ways to big wins this week in Powerball and Mega Millions drawings. Mark Blanchat of Charlotte won $10,000 in the Saturday, June 15 Powerball drawing, and Catherine Domian of Greensboro won $10,000 in the Friday, June 14 Mega Millions drawings.
We’re still looking forward to congratulating two other big winners. Someone bought a ticket at Andy’s Mart on Battleground Avenue in Greensboro that won $10,000 in the June 15 Powerball drawing and a lucky ticket purchased at the Sunlight Express on Wilkesboro Street in Statesville won a $40,000 prize in the Wednesday, June 19 Powerball drawing.
This week, five players claimed instant wins of $10,000 to $50,000 playing instant games. They were:
- Fred Fox of Wagram won $50,000 playing Maximum Green.
- Anita Hodges of Sumter, S.C., crossed the state line to win $50,000 playing Bonus Crossword.
- Vienne Zabroski of Beaufort won $40,000 playing Big Money.
