Group win: $1 million Mega Millions prize shared by four

The Nov. 27 Mega Millions drawing produced a $1 million win for a group of four.

Lorraine Dowe of Concord, N.C., Troy Dowe of Middletown, N.Y., Nicollette Rhodes of Linden, N.J., and Chad Payne of New York, N.Y. purchased their winning ticket at the Carolina Fast Mart on U.S. 601 in Concord.

The $2 ticket matched the numbers on all five white balls, 4-10-27-35-58, to beat odds of 1 in 12.6 million.

The group claimed their prize Monday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. They split the prize four ways and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, each took home $176,875.

The jackpot for Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing stands at an estimated $264 million as an annuity or $199.8 million cash.

Players can buy $2 Mega Millions tickets at any lottery retail location, through Online Play on the lottery’s website, www.nclottery.com, or by using their N.C. Lottery Official Mobile app.

Someone asked the question was this a QP or chosen numbers. You answered them by saying the winners did not disclose how they won. It has it on their ticket QP if that was the method. The lottery office knows. Why would you say unknown, it is known.NC Lottery
The player did not disclose this information during the winner interview, however if you would like to email player.info@lotterync.net they might be able to provide an answer.

Sorry, this winner didn't disclose if it was a quick pick or specifically chosen numbers.
