Annette Grier of Charlotte is the first North Carolinian to win a $1 million prize in the new $300,000,000 Supreme Riches game.

Grier claimed her prize Friday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. She purchased the lucky $30 ticket at Grab N Go on York Road in Charlotte.

Grier had a choice of taking the $1 million as an annuity of $50,000 over 20 years or a lump sum of $600,000. She chose the lump sum and after tax withholdings took home $424,509.

The $300,000,000 Supreme Riches game started in April with a top prize of $10 million. It offers six $1 million prizes that can be won instantly and four that can be won in second-chance drawings. The first second-chance drawing is scheduled for Aug. 7. Players have until July 31 to enter their Supreme Riches tickets into the drawing.

All four top prizes of $10 million remain to be claimed and five of the $1 million prizes are still unclaimed.

Ticket sales from instant games make it possible for the lottery to raise more than $650 million a year for education. For details on how $62 million in lottery funds made a difference in Mecklenburg County last year, click on the “Impact” section of the lottery’s website.
