Rowan County woman enjoys $4 million top prize win

Naith Galindo Ramos of Salisbury tried her luck on a $30 scratch-off and won a $4 million top prize.

Ramos bought her lucky Supreme 7s ticket from Bill’s Truck Stop on Snider Kines Road in Linwood.

When Ramos arrived at lottery headquarters Wednesday to collect her prize, she had a decision 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 $1,722,008.

The Supreme 7s game debuted in July 2024 with four $4 million top prizes and 10 $100,000 prizes. One $4 million prize and five $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed.

Why is the lump sum $2.4 million instead of $4.0 million before taxes?NC Lottery
Hi, Lisa! The $4 million top prize on this ticket is an annuity prize paid out over 20 years, whereas the lump sum cash value is $2.4 million up front. The difference between those amounts accounts for the interest that would be earned over time and used to pay off the prize over the 20 years if the winner chose the annuity option.
