Shelby woman hits the lottery worth $1 million in scratch off lottery game, the winner who had made herself a self made millionaire with just single ticket. 

Sloan, the winner of $1 million lottery ticket, a 40-year-old McDonald’s manager, bought her lucky Carolina Jackpot ticket from the Curve View Express on West Warren Street in Shelby.

“My eyes got real big,” Sloan said. “I just sat there looking at it.”

Sloan said it was her first time ever playing the Carolina Jackpot game.

“I saw the little money bag and I thought I maybe won $20,” Sloan laughed. “I was just stunned.”

She could choose to receive the prize as an annuity of $50,000 over 20 years or a lump sum of $600,000. She chose the lump-sum amount of $600,000 and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $426,063.
