The NC Education Lottery confirmed this week that a local man has claimed his multimillion-dollar payout after scoring a big win in the April 23 drawing.
“Craig Adolff of Kernersville took a chance on a $3 Mega Millions ticket and won a $4 million prize,” a press release stated.
The winning Quick Pick ticket was purchased via the lottery’s Online Play option and the $1 million prize for matching all five white balls was increased by the 4x Megaplier.
Adolff’s prize was the largest in that day’s nationwide drawing. The odds of selecting all five white balls in the lottery is listed at about 1 in 12.6 million.
After taxes, Adolff’s take-home prize was just over 2.86 million.
Friday’s Mega Millions jackpot stands at $331 million.
