On Saturday, Robert Drovie of Newton couldn’t believe his luck when his $1,000,000 Bankroll ticket revealed a top prize.
“I was shocked — just in disbelief,” he recalled. “I’m still in shock!”
Drovie purchased his winning $10 ticket from the Food Lion on N.C. 10 West in Newton.
He claimed his prize Monday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh.
Drovie had the option 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 lump sum and took home $424,503 after required federal and state tax withholdings.
The $1,000,000 Bankroll game launched in December with five top prizes of $1 million. Two top prizes remain to be won.
