Raleigh man collects $1 million prize off a $10 scratch-off

A Raleigh man took a chance on purchasing a $10 scratch-off ticket and ended up winning big.

Travis Davis won a $1 million prize and bought his lucky 50X The Cash ticket from Five Points Family Fare on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh.

When he arrived at lottery headquarters Thursday, he had a decision to make.

He could receive his prize as an annuity of $50,000 over 20 years or a lump sum of $600,000.

Davis decided to take the lump-sum amount of $600,000 and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $427,503.

The 50X The Cash game debuted in February of 2022 with eight top prizes of $1 million. One $1 million prize remains to be claimed.
