November 16, 2020 Posted by NC Lottery at 3:53 PM

Steven Cox of Archdale took home the second-place prize in Thursday’s Lucky for Life drawing, winning $25,000 A Year for Life.

“I was surprised,” recalled Cox of realizing his big win. “It was a shock. It still seems kind of surreal.”

Cox purchased his winning Quick Pick ticket using Online Play for the Nov. 12 drawing. His ticket matched all five white balls, beating odds of one in 1.8 million.

Winners of the second-place prize are guaranteed $25,000 every year for life and have the option of taking a lump sum of $390,000.

Cox claimed his prize at lottery headquarters in Raleigh on Monday and took home $275,932 after federal and state tax withholdings.

Lucky for Life tickets cost $2 and offers players 10 ways to win a prize.

Drawings are held on Monday and Thursday nights. The top prize is $1,000 A Day for Life.

Lucky for Life is one of four lottery games in North Carolina where players have the option of buying their tickets through Online Play either through the lottery’s website or with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App.

LZ, its been 2 months since this game started. The winners page has still not been updated to show the winners of this game. Like I said b4, if you don't have room, just eliminate the pick 4 winners.NC Lottery
