Loretta Mitchell of Winston-Salem took a chance on a $10 scratch-off ticket and won a $1 million prize.

Mitchell bought her lucky Jumbo Bucks ticket from Three Corner Food Mart on East 30th Street in Winston-Salem.

When Mitchell arrived at lottery headquarters 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 $426,063.

now that lump sum that this particular person won will she still have to report that on her taxes next yearNC Lottery
Great question, Bobby! Yes, this would still be reported as income on the winner's taxes for this year. We withhold the minimum amount for state and federal taxes, but an individual's tax obligation may be more than what we withhold, although they may not owe any more. Regardless, it would still be reported during tax season!
