Hoke County man bags $1 million lottery prize

Lewis Pratt of Raeford finds himself with a lot to celebrate, first his wedding and now a $1 million win.

“I just got married,” said Pratt. “So, me and my wife are just going to relax a little bit, pay some bills, and get ahead.”

He purchased his winning Millionaire Maker ticket from the Speedway on N.C. 5 in Aberdeen.

Pratt claimed his prize Tuesday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh.

He 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. Pratt 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. Pratt became the 17th person to win one of those $1 million prizes.

not a fan for the computer generator games. Just seems they are made to tight to let anyone play a little and win. Only way i won was playing 10 to 20 consecutive games, became too expensive for me.

Denver- thanks for your insight it’s always appreciated. Do you think Fast play will last as long as All or Nothing did ?

7/29/2021 02:46 - Denver G.

Hey Michael, I am not a fan of PB nor MM, so NO I will not be playing 3 times a week or even 1 or 2. unless I win some unexpected $$$. My go to games are C5 & LFL. I wish I could afford to play more of the Fast Play , I won a bunch buying five $10 tickets at a time when it 1st came out. But the winning stopped and I had to cut back, WAY BACK!!!! Still though Fast Play has very good odds of winning big money!!!

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Lewis :-). Amazing win

Hey Denver- Do you plan on playing powerball 3 days a week in Aug? It looks I’m going to be dishing out more money since LUcky for Life is already daily.

Nice win. Another nice story from the #910.

Hi Natasha, the prize was for $1 million. The blog post has since been corrected to say the correct prize amount. Thanks for asking!
