Antolina Santamaria of Burlington tried her luck on an Extreme Cash scratch-off and walked away with a $1 million top prize. 

Santamaria bought her lucky $25 ticket at Huff’s Interstate located off Maple Avenue in Burlington.

 

She claimed her prize Wednesday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh.  She had the choice of taking her prize as an annuity of $50,000 a year for 20 years or as a lump sum of $600,000. Santamaria chose the $600,000 lump sum. After required tax withholdings, she took home $424,507.

1 milion winner = Gets $424,507 $785,362 winner = gets $ 555,645 When you win less than a Million, you get more money then Million winner... You should fix this problem. 1 Million have to be cash price. Over million should be paid as installments. (actually, all prices should be paid cash. For example, in the UK "All prizes are paid as a lump sum and are tax-free."NC Lottery
Hi Mustafa, At one time, all $1 million prizes for instant games in North Carolina were awarded as annuities. Winners got $50,000 a year for 20 years. Players asked for the same choice in big instant wins that they had with Powerball. They wanted a choice of taking the annuity or a lump sum. The lump sum on a $1 million prize is $600,000. It's the winner's choice. $1 million annuity paid over 20 years or $600,000 lump sum. The tax withholding is the same, just applied against the lump sum once or the annuity payment every year.

In the UK and other countries;All prizes are paid as a lump sum and are tax-free. Of all money spent on National Lottery games, around 53% goes to the prize fund and 25% to "good causes"[1] as set out by Parliament

EXTREME CASH is the worse game. I have bought 4-12 tickets in a row just to won a small price, most of the time. I lost a lot of money on this game.

Taxes be like: "You win the $1Million prize! Here's your 8 bucks."

9/02/2021 01:59 - Brandon H.

They sure have no remorse for taxing the !**! Outta people!

They tax the F outta people!

Good for her ! This is for those of you who think buying many tickets or ROLLS of tickets will up your odds on winning big on one game. The Keno 2nd chance promo lasted 4 weeks with 100 winners a week, each winning a roll ( pack) of 100 tickets. Thus far ZERO people have claimed a top prize of 75k out of those tickets, not even a 2nd top prize of 5k. maybe that'll change as more claim their prizes but a LOT have been claimed already. First week 93/100, 2nd week 95/100, 3rd week 73/100, 4th week 17/100 have been claimed so far.
