Donah Wright of Asheboro took a chance on a $10 scratch-off ticket and won a $1 million prize.
Wright bought his lucky 50X The Cash ticket from Ready Mart 4 on East Salisbury Street in Asheboro.
When Wright 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 $427,503.
The 50X The Cash game debuted in February 2022 with eight top prizes of $1 million. Two $1 million prizes remain to be claimed.
