Ray Sharpe of Eden became the second North Carolinian to win a $1 million prize in the new $300,000,000 Supreme Riches game.
Sharpe claimed his prize Monday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. He purchased the lucky $30 ticket at the Hilltop Grill & Grocery on N.C. 87 in Eden.
He had a choice of taking the $1 million as an annuity of $50,000 over 20 years or a lump sum of $600,000. He chose the lump sum and after tax withholdings took home $424,509.
