Buncombe County woman bags $1 million scratch-off win

June 27, 2023 Posted by NC Lottery at 3:22 PM

Anna Maria Bain of Fairview took a chance on a $30 scratch-off and won a $1 million prize.

Bain bought her lucky Millionaire Maker ticket from One Stop Market on U.S. 70 in Swannanoa.

When Bain arrived at lottery headquarters Tuesday, she had a decision to make. She could choose to receive the 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.

Congratulations on your big win! Makes me wonder, did she only purchase one 30 dollar ticket, or multiple 30 dollars tickets. Makes me wonder,when I read they took a chance on winning.
