Henderson County truck driver collects $150,000 Powerball prize

Alan Guyton, a truck driver from Flat Rock, picked up a $150,000 prize delivered to him in a Powerball drawing.

Guyton bought his $3 Power Play ticket at the Enmark Market on Hendersonville Road in Arden.

The Quick Pick ticket beat odds of 1 in 913,000 to match four of the white balls and the red Powerball in the Oct. 21 drawing to win $50,000. His prize tripled to $150,000 when the 3X multiplier was drawn.

“It was a great thing,” Guyton said of his win. “I just did not expect it.”

Guyton claimed his prize Friday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After required state and federal tax withholdings, he took home $106,126.

“This money will help the people I love the most,” Guyton said. “And it will help me with my retirement.”

No one won Saturday’s Powerball jackpot. The jackpot climbs to $137 million as an annuity prize or $106.6 million cash for Wednesday’s drawing.

Sorry nc taxes winners making the government taxes lottery in nc at 34.5 why do we live in a state that protects banks even the mob doesn't charge 34.5 percent interestNC Lottery
Hi Felicia, Lottery winnings are considered income, so just like you have taxes withheld from your paycheck, taxes are withheld from lottery winnings as well. The lottery does not keep or control over how much winners pay in tax - that is based on current tax rates. Right now the rates are 24% for federal and 5.25% for state. Each winner's financial situation is different, so we always encourage winners to consult with a tax professional when they claim.
