Quinnon Brunson of Greensboro took a chance on a $10 scratch-off ticket and won a $1 million prize.
Brunson bought his lucky 50X The Cash ticket from Alamance Food Mart on Alamance Church Road in Greensboro.
When Brunson arrived at lottery headquarters Friday, he had a decision to make. He could choose to receive his prize as an annuity of $50,000 over 20 years or a lump sum of $600,000. He chose the lump-sum amount of $600,000 and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $426,063.
The 50X The Cash game debuted in February with eight top prizes of $1 million. Three $1 million prizes remain to be claimed.
