Jimareo Sherrill of Charlotte tried his luck on a $50 scratch-off and won a $1 million prize.

Sherrill bought his lucky $10 Million Spectacular ticket from the Walmart Supercenter on North Tryon Street in Charlotte.

When Sherrill arrived to collect his winnings, 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 of $600,000 and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $429,014.

The $10 Million Spectacular game debuted in December with five top prizes of $10 million, 20 prizes of $1 million and 20 prizes of $100,000. Five $10 million prizes, 17 $1 million prizes and 18 $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed.

The nc lottery is holding my winnings hostage for no reasonNC Lottery
Hey there, Kevin! We apologize for any delay in receiving your winnings. Due to an increased volume of requests, we're currently seeing up to 7-10 business days turnaround time for first-time withdrawals, as our team works to review identity verification documentation. This process is only required for first-time withdrawals to a particular payment method, so future withdrawals to the same method won't require this delay. We appreciate your patience as we work to process this request as quickly as possible, and again apologize for the delay and any inconvenience caused by this!

I am not even hatin' on that man, it just would be so nice if winners though about the long term and took the 20 year annuity to ensure income over the long term instead of choosing to owe the IRS an addtional 10 percent at tax time. Congratulations though.

Congrats!

@Mary, don't be fooled into thinking Charlotte had the "big" winners "all" the big winners. Just ask NCEL for 1M+ winners from ANY 2 or more year period and it will show in black and white that 60+ percent of 500k+ scratch-off OR Progressive wins are in towns of 40k less people. Period. Even shows the SAME person will 500k prices multiple times at SAME store. Scam? Probably. To take the heat, they put token win Charlotte!
