RALEIGH, N.C. — Ronald Atteberry of Spencer tried his luck on a $10 scratch-off ticket and won a $1 million prize in the North Carolina Education Lottery.
Atteberry bought his lucky 50X The Cash ticket from Murphy Express on Freeland Drive in Salisbury.
Atteberry 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 amount of $600,000 and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $425,012.
