Jones County man bags ‘extreme cash’ with $1 million prize

Johnnie Jones of Maysville tried his luck on an Extreme Cash scratch-off ticket and won the $1 million top prize.

He bought his lucky $25 ticket at Stella Grill & Variety located off N.C. 58 in Stella.

Jones claimed his prize Tuesday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. He had a choice of taking the $1 million as an annuity of $50,000 a year over 20 years, or a lump sum of $600,000. He chose the annuity and after federal and state tax withholdings, took home his first payment of $35,382.

Extreme Cash launched in March with three top prizes of $1 million and 10 prizes of $100,000. One $1 million prize and five $100,000 prizes remain.

Ticket sales from scratch-off games make it possible for the lottery to raise more than $700 million a year for education. For details on how money raised by the lottery made a difference in all North Carolina counties last year, visit www.nclottery.com and click on the “Impact” section.

Congrats, and very good choice being one of the few that didn't take the lump sum.
