Cumberland County woman wins $1 million prize

May 5, 2021 Posted by NC Lottery at 8:52 AM

When Artina Siler of Fayetteville scratched her Millionaire Maker ticket, she found herself looking at a $1 million top prize.

Siler purchased her winning $30 ticket from the 365 Fast Mart on North Reilly Road in Fayetteville.

She claimed her prize Tuesday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh.

Siler 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. She chose the lump sum of $600,000 and took home $424,509 after required federal and state tax withholdings.

Millionaire Maker is the first scratch-off to offer 30 $1 million prizes. Siler became the 12th person to win one of those $1 million prizes.

30-$1 million prizes is merely not enough money for NC when we have 100 counties.If you tried to put a million dollars in each county, county,well 70 counties will be neglected.

I buy my scratch offs from the vending machines but I never see any of those tickets hit. It’s been a huge waste

Has it occurred where a top prize was won more than once in a county? 30 top prizes of millionaire maker is a lot.NC Lottery
Hi Latoya, thanks for the question! There have been two Millionaire Maker millionaires in Johnston and Randolph County so far. Cumberland, Forsyth, Harnett, Moore, Halifax, Columbus, Montgomery, and Rowan County have each had one winner.

Why does the NCEL not put a map out showing big winners like they have done before? Could it be because most big winners in same general area of state!
