Eleni Housiadas of Charlotte decided to pick up a 50X the Cash ticket and scored a $1 million top prize.

Housiadas purchased her winning $10 ticket from the Circle K on Sharon Road West in Charlotte.

She claimed her prize Tuesday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh.

Housiadas 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. She chose the lump sum of $600,000 and took home $424,503 after federal and state tax withholdings.

Hello, Is this the old 50x the cash ticket or the new 50x the cash? You know there are 2 kinda lottery tickets floating around with same name “50x the cash”.NC Lottery
Hi Vaneet, thanks for the question. This win was on the newer of the 50X the Cash scratch-off tickets, game 770. Here is a link to that game: https://nclottery.com/ScratchOffDetail?gn=770. Thanks for being a fan of the lottery!

Congratulations! I’m praying my dream of winning will come true one day, all I want to do is have a place I can call my dream home. Did you pray that you’d win one day?NC Lottery
Good luck, Lily!

Hey Dorothy 2012 $1 million winner powerball. 100k scratch off 2014. $1 million 2015. Cash 5 in 2019 700k. 2019 250k win it all. Cash 5 again 100k in 2020. I know this info because I lived in laurinburg for 5 years while I went to college at UNCP. Laurinburg isn’t be so big so I wouldn’t expect them to have ton of winners like Charlotte. Try you luck at Nics Pic Kwik they get tons of smaller prizes $500-$1000 all the time check the walls =] good luck!

Congratulations:-) PS: NCEL- I've already called customer service but is there anyone else experiencing an issue scanning tickets on the lottery app I deleted and installed it three times but it's still not working. Thanks NC Lottery
Hi DL, sorry that you are having trouble with the ticket scanner in the app. We haven't received any other reports about an outage and it seems to be working from our end. Your best bet is to speak with Online Play customer support at 1-866-934-0289.

Since this is the 15th Anniversary, how many times have a 250thoussand dollar winner, been in Scotland, Roberson County. We aren't asking for a million just the smaller ones. Update us.

6/02/2021 12:03 - Dorothy M.

If the case is they have more people that's why the winners go there, stop passing them out to smaller counties.

In my Gomer Pyle Voice, Surprise, Surprise, Surprise. Not
