Halifax County man bags $1 million scratch-off prize

Richard Todd of Roanoke Rapids took a chance on a $30 scratch-off and won a $1 million prize.

Todd purchased his lucky Millionaire Maker ticket from the Speed Mart on East 10th Street in Roanoke Rapids.

When Todd 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 $427,509.

Ticket sales from scratch-off games make it possible for the lottery to raise more than $2.5 million a day on average for education. The state provided $89 million in grants, using money raised by the lottery, to help Halifax County build new schools.

Congrats to you the winner, glad you were blessed & lucky to have won! Now that’s out the way: THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT! Stop playing the Pick 3 & Pick 4 draw games! NC Lottery you should be ashame of yourselves, only allowing a triple or quad to have the possibility of winning by using the Fireball. Stop cheating us & just let a normal trip or quad hit for once. I see what you crooks are doing, you’re not slick, every other state has at least let a triple or quad hit and they have Fireball too.

NCEL does it again. 321 came out with the fireball. So many players will continue to drop out because of this strategy. A lot of ways to keep players losing. Too many losers had changed the game.

Congratulations from Charlotte! Picking up my January scratch tickets this Thursday after my doc visit. My on-line games are auto draft, while my scratch tickets are a 'once a month' purchase.
