North Carolina Jackpot Winner Story

  by: JohnCurio - Category:

A Johnston County woman is proof that sometimes persistence really does pay off.  Cynthia Parrish accepted a check Tuesday from the North Carolina Education Lottery worth $1 million.  She said her husband buys her $20 in scratch-off lottery tickets every Thursday, and her biggest winnings up until now had been $80.

Last Thursday, she scratched off one of the tickets and couldn’t believe her eyes.  “I thought he was playing a trick on me,” she said.

Parrish’s husband took the ticket back to the Hasty Mart on U.S. 70 in Smithfield and verified it was a winner worth $1 million.

“I just can’t believe it,” she said.  The family, who lives in Pine Level, said they plan to use part of the money to pay for their daughter’s college tuition.  The prize will be paid out in annual installments of $34,000, after taxes, for 20 years.
