Craig Killgore of Kill Devil Hills had luck on his side when he played the Extreme Millions scratch-off game and won $1 million.

Killgore’s good fortune happened when he stopped by the Circle K on West Ocean Bay Boulevard in Kill Devil Hills and bought the $30 ticket.

He claimed his prize Tuesday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. He had the choice of taking an annuity that has 20 payments of $50,000 a year or a lump sum of $600,000. He chose the lump sum. After required state and federal tax withholdings, he took home $423,015.

Extreme Millions launched in December 2016 with four top prizes of $10 million and 22 $1 million prizes. Two $10 million prizes and nine $1 million prizes remain.

Ticket sales from instant games like Extreme Millions make it possible for the lottery to raise more than $600 million a year for the state. For details on how lottery funds have made a difference in all of North Carolina’s 100 counties, click on the “Impact” section of the lottery’s website.
