Rowan County man celebrates ‘Colossal’ $1 million win

Terry Gladden of Salisbury is celebrating after he won a $1 million lottery prize.

His good fortune happened when he stopped by the Fast Stop on Andrews Street in Salisbury and bought a $10,000,000 Colossal Cash scratch-off ticket.

Gladden claimed the prize Monday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. He had the choice of taking an annuity that has 20 payments of $50,000 a year or a lump sum of $600,000. He chose the lump sum. After required state and federal tax withholdings, he took home $423,015.

The $30 ticket launched in August with four top prizes of $10 million and 16 prizes of $1 million. All top prizes and 13 $1 million prizes remain. Players can also enter their tickets into one of five second-chance drawings for a $1 million prize.

Congratulations!

I had my memory jogged today why I stopped buying scratch off tickets. Bought a $5 Christmas ticket today after about an eight month hiatus.Hit a five times the money... alright at least $25 I thought,scratched for the money amount..$2 ..5x’s =$10 pitiful. I had forgotten the NCEL doesn’t have at least a face value on winning numbers... I’ve seen many win all on a $5 ticket that had $1 and $2 under numbers for a grand total of $10 ...Think I’ll make it Year this time before I buy another scratch off!
