Kelly Wyatt of Statesville tried her luck on a $30 scratch-off and won a $1 million prize.
Wyatt bought the lucky Millionaire Maker ticket from Fast Phil’s on Mocksville Highway in Statesville.
When Wyatt arrived at lottery headquarters Monday to collect her prize, she had a decision to make. She could choose to receive the prize as an annuity of $50,000 over 20 years or a lump sum of $600,000. She chose the lump-sum amount of $600,000 and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $426,069.
The Millionaire Maker game launched in March 2021. Wyatt became the 25th person to win one of the $1 million prizes.
