Maurice Young, from Lincolnton, purchased a ticket for the $10 Million Spectacular scratch-off game, offered by the North Carolina Education Lottery. His decision to try his luck paid off when he discovered he had won one of the game\u2019s $1 million prizes.<\/p>\n<p>Young bought his winning ticket at Kingsway on North Aspen Street in Lincolnton. The $10 Million Spectacular game has been popular among players, offering the chance to win big with a relatively small investment. For Young, the gamble turned into a significant windfall.<\/p>\n<p>This win marks the thirteenth $1 million prize claimed from the $10 Million Spectacular game. With a total of 20 such prizes available, seven still remain unclaimed. The odds of winning one of these $1 million prizes are steep\u20141 in 813,895.5\u2014making Young\u2019s victory even more noteworthy.<\/p>\n<p>After confirming his win, Young visited the North Carolina Education Lottery headquarters to claim his prize. He faced a decision: take the full $1 million in annuity payments of $50,000 per year over 20 years, or opt for a lump sum of $600,000. Young chose the lump sum, a decision many winners make to receive their money upfront.<\/p>\n<p>However, lottery winnings in North Carolina are subject to state and federal taxes. After taxes, Young walked away with nearly $429,000. While this is less than the initial $1 million prize, it\u2019s still a substantial amount that can have a major impact on his life.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"BetUS\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BetUS.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"BetUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BetUS<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
