The player had a hunch about the $10 ticket.

Raymond Johnson from Bunnlevel clinched a remarkable victory by winning $1 million in a scratch-off game. While relaxing on his porch one Sunday, he discovered that the ticket he had just scratched off had indeed changed his life. He had purchased the winning ticket at Super Save on NC 27 West in Lillington while playing the $10 Triple Red 777 Jackpot game. When asked how he chose the game, Johnson simply mentioned that he had a gut feeling about it and decided to try his luck. He has now claimed the second of three top prizes available in this particular game. Launched in July 2026, the $10 Triple Red 777 Jackpot is nearing its end with only one prize left. For Johnson, this prize couldn’t have arrived at a better moment, as he and his family had been searching for a new home, and this windfall offers the perfect financial boost to secure a better future.

"Definitely choose the lump sum option."

Last Saturday, we were checking out a house, he shared with the North Carolina Education Lottery during his visit to claim his prize, where he also posed for the usual photo. He wisely chose the lump sum, which comes to $600,000, instead of the $50,000 annuity spread over 20 years. After taxes, Johnson will receive $432,063 from the lump sum.
