$1 million win feels ‘surreal’ for Wilkes County man

June 21, 2021 Posted by NC Lottery at 12:59 PM

Lee Kilby of Wilkesboro was shocked to see his 50X the Cash ticket reveal a $1 million top prize.

“When I scratched it off, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” he said. “It was surreal. I was shocked more than anything.”

Kilby purchased his winning $10 ticket from the Village Market on Sparta Road in North Wilkesboro.

He claimed his prize Friday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. Kilby 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. He chose the lump sum of $600,000 and took home $424,503 after federal and state tax withholdings.

“I couldn’t be more excited about winning,” he said.

Kilby won the last $1 million top prize, so the lottery will begin steps to end the game.

Wow, congratulations on your lucky pick. Richmond county never has anyone who purchased a lucky 1 million or any other high dollar win here. Guess they ran out before they get distributed here. Still trying my luck. Getting nothing but broke on playing. Got to slack off now with inflation at our door.
