January 8, 2024 Posted by NC Lottery at 3:00 PM

Stephanie Lowe of Mooresville took a chance on a $30 scratch-off ticket and won a $1 million prize.

Lowe bought her lucky Millionaire Maker ticket from the Speed Mart on Hasty School Road in Thomasville.

When Lowe arrived at lottery headquarters Monday, 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 of $600,000 and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $429,009.

Please remember no one ever has one Powerball through online. Anywhere in the country. So what does that tell you? No one has ever won Powerball online ever.NC Lottery
Since Powerball launched in 1992, the game has seen around 400 total jackpot winners across all participating jurisdictions, and Powerball was not even able to be offered online until the Multi-State Lottery Association that oversees Powerball began to allow it in 2009 - and NC Lottery began offering Powerball tickets online in 2013. The vast majority of players purchase tickets in stores, so we'll see more frequent winners over time from retailer locations. But whether you play in store or online, your odds of winning are the same - 1 in 292,201,338. It just takes a lot of luck!
