Chrystal Alston of Greensboro tried her luck on a $0.50 Digital Instant play on Monday and won a 186,991 jackpot.
Alston won the top level “Gold” jackpot in the Banker’s Vault game. The Digital Instant game features a progressive jackpot that can be won at any time. The odds of that win were 1 in 80 million.
She claimed her prize Wednesday at lottery headquarters and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $134,653.
In the Banker’s Vault digital instant game, a player can play from 50 cents to $5. Players can also place a side bet that adds to the total cost of the ticket. After Alston won the jackpot Monday, it restarted at $80,000 and has grown to over $93,000 as of Thursday morning.
Digital Instant games are played exclusively online on the lottery’s website or on the NC Lottery Official Mobile App. Seventy-six different games are available to play online now.
