Diane Howard of Clinton tried her luck on a $30 scratch-off and won a $4 million prize.
Howard bought her lucky ticket from the Circle K on West N.C. 24 in Warsaw.
When Howard arrived at lottery headquarters Monday, she had a choice to make. She could choose to receive the prize as an annuity of $200,000 over 20 years or a lump sum of $2.4 million. She chose the lump sum of $2.4 million and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $1,710,009.
The Black Titanium game debuted in June with six $4 million prizes and 16 $100,000 prizes. Four $4 million prizes and 12 $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed.
