Charlotte woman bags $1 million scratch-off win

October 24, 2023 Posted by NC Lottery at 10:55 AM

Angelita Blackstock of Charlotte took a chance on a $30 scratch-off ticket and won a $1 million prize.

Blackstock bought her lucky Millionaire Maker ticket from RaceWay on Brookshire Boulevard in Charlotte.

When Blackstock arrived at lottery headquarters Monday, she had a decision to make. She could choose to receive her 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 $427,509.

These tickets are a joke. When the lottery dumps new runs on to old losing runs it should be illegal.

I get so so tired of Charlotte and Charlotte area winning all the dam time get so sick of it everytime I look winners looks like people going to have move to Charlotte or drive 3hrs or more to play thereNC Lottery
Hi, Bobby! Anywhere there are more chances being taken to win—for example Raleigh or Charlotte—the odds will play out more often there over time. You'll have a larger volume of both winning and non-winning tickets in proportion with the odds. That has no effect on the likelihood of a particular ticket winning or not winning a prize, whether it be in a big city or a small town. It has to be that way in order for the lottery to be fair to everyone.
