Trinity player Max Bouldin tried his luck with a new $ dollars and was shocked when he won his second prize of $ 1 million dollar lottery .

“I’m surprised” said while claiming his Jumbo Bucks prize Thursday at the headquarters of the Carolina Lottery from North. “I am amazed. This is a one in a million chance. ”

In July of 2018, Bouldin won a $ 1 million dollar prize with an Extreme Millions ticket.

Bouldin said he now bought his last lucky ticket at Trindale Mini Mart in NC 62 at Trinity.

“I feel so blessed,” said Bouldin. “Winning this here is definitely a blessing.”

The player had the option to take his prize from million dollar lottery as an annuity of 20 payments of $ 50, 000 dollars per year or a lump sum of $ 600, 000.

Bouldin opted for the lump sum of $ 600, 000 dollars and took home $ 424, 503 after required state and federal tax withholdings.

“I am very grateful,” he said. “I can’t believe this.”

The Jumbo Bucks Scratch-Off game launched this month with eight top prizes of $ 1 million. The North Carolina Lottery said there are five jackpots left to win.

Many consult the home page of the state lottery to see which games have already been won.

And it is that each scratch game has a certain number of maximum prizes. However, it is perfectly legal for a retailer to continue to sell the rest of their tickets after all major prizes have already been claimed.

Some merchants may post a release of responsibility where lottery tickets are sold to scratch, but most will not.

Fortunately, this information is available on the home page of the state lottery .

So if your goal when playing is to win big prizes, you should first check:

• Which prizes have not yet been claimed.
• What games still have a lot of prizes available? (Those are the banknotes with the most possibilities)
• Newer games usually have the most unclaimed prizes, so try to find a retailer that sells these games
• When launched a new game, will be published on the website of the state lottery

Perhaps the most obvious way to improve your chances of buying a winner is check the odds of a particular game of winning before making the purchase.

See the home page of the state lottery to get this information or ask the sales clerk where you buy the ticket. Odds of winning are also usually printed on the back of the ticket.

And remember that the lottery is a gamble no matter how you play it, and it didn’t become a multi-million dollar industry due to the sheer number of winners.
