“About two months ago, we won $500,” recalled Walls. “We thought we hit the big time then!”
The couple purchased their winning $10 Jumbo Bucks ticket from the Harris Teeter on Robinwood Road in Gastonia.
“When I scratched off that number ‘9’ I couldn’t speak and the tears came down,” said Walls.
The couple claimed their prize Wednesday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. They had the choice of taking the $1 million as an annuity of 20 payments of $50,000 a year or a lump sum of $600,000. The couple opted for the lump sum and each took home $212,251 after required state and federal tax withholdings.
