Mecklenburg County man got ‘goosebumps’ after $1 million win

April 15, 2021 Posted by NC Lottery at 12:35 PM

Shane Hypio of Charlotte couldn’t believe his eyes when his 50X the Cash ticket revealed a $1 million top prize.

“Reality is setting in now,” he said as he claimed his prize Wednesday at lottery headquarters. “I feel so blessed.”

Hypio purchased his winning $10 ticket from the Quick Trip on Monroe Road in Matthews. Sitting in his car outside the store, he decided to scratch his ticket.

“I got to the third number, 23, and when I saw that ‘1’ I said, ‘No way,’” he recalled. “Then I saw that ‘MIL’ and I had to take like five minutes to myself. I started getting goosebumps! I couldn’t drive for about 15 minutes after that.”

Hypio had the choice of taking the $1 million as an annuity of 20 payments of $50,000 a year or a lump sum of $600,000. He opted for the lump sum and took home $424,503 after required state and federal tax withholdings.

The 50X The Cash game launched in February with six top prizes of $1 million. Two remain to be won.

There is some mistake. In the below article, you have mentioned 50x the cash has 2 top prizes remaining. https://nclottery.com/NewsBlogDetails/2021/4/1/Rowan-County-woman-scores-1-million-lottery-prize- Again, in this current article on 04/15, again it is mentioned after the winning, 50x the cash has 2 top prizes remaining. How can the 2 top prizes still remain? I think one of these "50x the cash" ticket is launched from feb 2020.NC Lottery
Hi Vaneet, good catch! You are correct that the winner Tabetha Church won on the older version of 50X The Cash. We have now made the correction to that blog post. Thanks for pointing that out to us!

can we enter as many as draws we have for monthly drawing in different times. I know maximum 1000 entries for one timeNC Lottery
Hi Jia, there is no limit on the number of entries that a player can have in Lucke-Rewards and Second Chance drawings. When redeeming points for these drawings online, the slider will only go up to 1,000 entries but you can repeat the redeeming process as many times as you like, provided you have enough points in your account. I hope this helped to answer your question, just let us know if you were referring to something else. Good luck!
