NC Grocery Store Sells $1 Million Lottery Winner
Gaston Gazette (Gastonia, NC)
A Gastonia grocery store sold a $1 million winning lottery ticket.
Gloria Walls and Gary Daniel of Clover, South Carolina, bought the winner $10 Jumbo Bucks scratch-off ticket at the Harris Teeter on Robinwood Road.
The couple claimed their prize last week 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, or $424,502 total, after required state and federal tax withholdings.
“When I scratched off that number ‘9’ I couldn’t speak and the tears came down,” said Walls.

UPDATE: Roger Self will return to the stand Friday for more cross-examination from the District Attorney s Office. The case will likely conclude around noon Friday.
Roger Self spoke on his own behalf Thursday afternoon to try and convince a judge his killing of two loved ones in 2018 doesn t warrant him spending the rest of his life in prison.
While Self doesn t face a life sentence, at age 65 a sentence much beyond a minimum prison range of 12 years would likely mean he would remain in prison for as long as he lives. He could face a maximum of about 70 years, according to his defense attorney, Rick Beam.
