Robeson County man will buy a house with $1 million top prize

March 7, 2025 Posted by NC Lottery at 3:57 PM

Jeffrey Walker of Lumberton wanted to buy a new home for a long time and now he can after winning a $1 million scratch-off prize.

“That’s a real good feeling,” Walker said. “This is a true blessing.”

He bought his lucky $30 Millionaire Maker ticket from Sun-Do on East Elizabethtown Road in Lumberton. He took the ticket home to scratch it and then immediately wanted to share his good news when he saw how much he won.

“I had to wake my daughter up to tell her,” Walker laughed.

With the dream of a new home, Walker said the timing of his win works out great.

“This will really come in handy,” he said. “It’s coming at the perfect time.”

When Walker arrived at lottery headquarters Friday, 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 tax withholdings, took home $430,508.

It's one thing to say it takes a lot of luck to WIN and it is another to just be a scam...This issue with tickets, second chance, and Digital Instants reminds me of the Monopoly Draw game that we as players collected all those properties and then the Game Ended. Every player who played it should have got something even if it was a $5 gift card. Same thing should be for all these issues we are just giving money away too. What you think @NCEL?

Lol, NCEL you've had all of us collecting 2nd chance tickets like dogs for scraps. Hoping for a shot at all that cash you robbed. Now players can't even submit tickets for your rigged drawings. What a load..NC Lottery
Hi, Brian! We are working to resolve the issues affecting Lucke-Rewards, and we hope to have this fixed soon. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Still can’t enter tickets for 2nd chance points, so much for the problem being corrected on Friday.NC Lottery
