Lottery ticket worth $339,000 is sold at North Carolina store. Here’s where
A lottery player spent $10 on a ticket — and hit the jackpot in North Carolina.
On June 9, the player bought a 50X the Cash ticket that won the game’s top prize, the N.C. Education Lottery wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The winner scored $339,703 after trying their luck in Cornelius, a roughly 20-mile drive north from uptown Charlotte. The ticket was sold at the Cashion’s Quik Stop convenience store on Statesville Road.
50X the Cash is a Fast Play progressive jackpot game that offers $10 tickets. To score a prize, a player must match at least one of their ticket numbers to a number from a winning set, rules show.
As of about 1:45 p.m. June 9, the lucky ticket holder hadn’t claimed their prize yet. In North Carolina, the winners of Fast Play games have about six months to cash in, a lottery spokesperson told McClatchy News via email.
