James Holloway of Fayetteville took a chance on a $50 scratch-off and won a $1 million prize.

Holloway bought his lucky $10 Million Spectacular ticket from VaVa Food Mart on Cumberland Road in Fayetteville.

When Holloway arrived at lottery headquarters Monday, 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 $430,514.

The $10 Million Spectacular game debuted in December 2023 with five top prizes of $10 million, 20 prizes of $1 million and 20 prizes of $100,000. Two $10 million prizes, four $1 million prizes and four $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed.
