A Sanford mother is $865,960 richer after hitting a digital jackpot through the North Carolina Education Lottery, the outlet reported Wednesday, June 11.
The woman — described in the report only as a Sanford mom — said she was “freaking out” after the win. The prize came through one of the lottery’s digital games, though the specific game title wasn’t named in the report.
The prize
At $865,960, the payout ranks among the larger single-winner digital prizes the NC Education Lottery has announced in recent months. The lottery runs digital draw games and instant-win titles through its online platform, which North Carolina opened to players several years ago as part of a broader push to modernize ticket sales.
The NC Education Lottery hasn’t yet confirmed whether the winner elected a lump sum or will receive the prize in installments — nor whether taxes have already been withheld from the figure reported.
