Cabarrus County man wins second big lottery prize of 2023

Cedric Bass of Kannapolis beat the odds for the second time in three months to win a $1 million scratch-off prize.

After a trip to the grocery store Thursday, he decided to make one more stop.

“I got gas and the ticket from across the street,” Bass said.

The $10 VIP Platinum ticket Bass picked up from Willow Oaks BP on George W. Liles Parkway in Concord turned out to be a $1 million winner.

Luck has been on Bass’ side before.

“I was just here in January,” he said. “I won Cash 5.”

Bass matched all five white balls in the Jan. 6 drawing and won $182,073 after splitting the jackpot with another winner.

When Bass arrived at lottery headquarters Friday to claim his $1 million win, 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 VIP Platinum game debuted last month with five $1 million top prizes. Three $1 million prizes remain to be claimed.

CONGRATS BROTHER ON YOUR WINNINGS. ANYTHING IS A BLESSING BUT BOY TAXES IS SOMETHING LOL. Out of a $1 million winning ticket you get back $427,503? WOW! Hey guess what I wouldn’t be mad lol but gosh!NC Lottery
Hey there, Antonio! $1 million winners have the choice between a $1 million prize paid out over 20 years ($50,000 annually) or a lump sum of $600,000 all up front! The choice is up to the winner - either way though, we will withhold the minimum required tax amounts (4.75% for NC and 24% for Federal). Hope this helps to clarify!

Congratulations on your big win again! Wish I was that lucky! Save some for taxes.

That’s good to hear haven’t won anything more than $ 500.00 but have won quite a ton of the small wins maybe more than 98 % of the people that play the lottery
