Randolph County woman ‘so thankful’ for $1 million prize

April 13, 2021 Posted by NC Lottery at 3:46 PM

Angelene Dingman of Randleman couldn’t believe her luck when her Millionaire Maker ticket revealed a $1 million top prize.

“I’m sitting here shaking,” she said as she claimed her prize Tuesday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. “I just can’t believe it! It’s still so unreal.”

Dingman purchased her winning $30 ticket from the Ready Mart on North Main Street in Randleman.

She 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. Dingman chose the lump sum and took home $424,509 after required federal and state tax withholdings.

“We’re just so blessed and so thankful,” she said.

Millionaire Maker is the first scratch-off to offer 30 $1 million prizes. Dingman became the seventh person to win one of those $1 million prizes.

What is the Double Draw feature on Cash 5 about?NC Lottery
Hi Kelli, Double Play gives you two ways to win with your Cash 5 numbers. When you add Double Play to Cash 5, your numbers are included in a second drawing for additional cash prizes. The cost to add Double Play is $1 per play. We will be unveiling more details about Double Play over the next couple weeks, so stay tuned!

Hey ncel! Will the easy match option be removed on the cash 5 when the new double draw comes into play? NC Lottery
Hi Michael, we will still be offering EZ Match after Double Draw is released. In fact, you can add both games to each play you purchase at retail locations. Best of luck!

when we play 2nd chance games do we have to keep the tickets after we enter the entry numbers NC Lottery
Hi Kathy, great question! You don't need to keep your ticket after entering a 2nd Chance or Lucke-Rewards drawing. After the ticket information is successfully submitted as an entry, the original ticket is not required to claim a Lucke-Rewards prize. Good luck!
