Gaston County man wins $1,000 a day for life prize

Jimmie Shindler of Gastonia bought a $2 Lucky for Life ticket and won the top prize of $1,000 a day for life.

Shindler bought his lucky ticket for Wednesday’s drawing through Online Play on the lottery’s website. He won his prize by matching all five white balls and the yellow Lucky Ball. The odds of winning the $1,000 a day for life prize are 1 in 30.8 million.

He claimed his prize Monday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh and had the choice of receiving $365,000 a year each year for the rest of his life or a $5,750,000 lump sum. He chose the lump sum and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $4.08 million.

Lucky for Life is one of four lottery games in North Carolina where players have the option of buying their tickets through a retail location or Online Play, either through the lottery’s website or with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App. Lucky for Life tickets are $2 and drawings are held every night.

Congratulations to the winner! NCEL, why does the daily Lucky for Life drawing use a digital random number generator (RNG) instead of a traditional ball machine like Cash 5, Powerball, and Mega Millions?NC Lottery
Hi Brian, when Lucky For Life changed to daily drawings, the Multi-State Lottery group that administers that game decided to switch to an RNG machine to select the winning numbers.
