A man from North Carolina won a $1 million lottery prize after purchasing a ticket at a local gas station. Ricky Nunnery Jr. trusted his intuition, saying, “Something just told me to play today.” He plans to use the money to invest and cover his bills. Nunnery became the first winner of the $1 million top prize in the state’s new lottery game on July 11. After dreaming that he would win big, he purchased a $10 ticket at a gas station. Nunnery chose to receive the prize as a lump sum of $600,000 and took home $430,503 after taxes. He expressed his excitement about the win and his plans to use the money wisely. Other North Carolina players have the chance to win too, as four $1 million top prizes are still unclaimed in the $1,000,000 Triple Play game.
