Charlotte resident Wilbur Grant tried his luck on a $10 scratch-off ticket and won the first $1 million top prize in a new scratch-off game.
Grant bought his lucky 50X The Cash ticket from EP Mart on South Wesleyan Boulevard in Rocky Mount. When Grant arrived at lottery headquarters Tuesday, 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 $429,003.
The 50X The Cash game debuted in February with six top prizes of $1 million. Five $1 million prizes remain to be claimed.
