Wayne Brown of Charlotte took a chance on a $25 scratch-off ticket and won a $1 million prize.
Brown bought his lucky Extreme Cash ticket from the 7-Eleven on Old Concord Road in Charlotte.
When Brown arrived at lottery headquarters Monday, 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 $427,507.
