Stokes County man scores $1 million prize

Kenneth Smith of Danbury sat in awe as he watched his $10 Carolina Black: Millionaire Edition ticket reveal a $1 million top prize.

“It feels great,” said Smith as he claimed his prize Tuesday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. “I’ve been trying for a long time.”

Smith purchased his winning ticket from Briggs Grocery on N.C. 8 North in Danbury.

He had the choice of taking the $1 million as an annuity of 20 payments of $50,000 a year or a lump sum of $600,000. Smith chose the lump sum and took home $424,503 after required state and federal tax withholdings.

Carolina Black: Millionaire Edition launched in September with five top prizes of $1 million. One top prize remains to be won.

Hi @Sheila and @Tony, you guys are of course correct, we did a reorder for the Colossal Cash game a couple weeks back. Our moderator just missed that note prior to commenting. Our apologies!

@Tony T. Thanks. I don't understand why @ncel wouldn't know this information. I play the $30Colassal game a lot and I noticed the prize amount changed...
