North Carolina Man Wins $1 Million from $10 Lottery Ticket


A Richmond County player won a $1 million top prize from a $10 Cashword King ticket. The winner had a gut feeling that he had to get that ticket and purchased it from CAPL Retail on South Main Street in Laurinburg.

The winner enjoys playing crossword-style scratch-off tickets and likes to take his time while playing. He chose to take home a one-time lump sum of $600,000 after taxes, which amounted to $432,063.

The odds of winning $1 million in Cashword King are 1 in 1,208,752.5.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
