Richardson played the NC Lucky for Life game and won a $25,000 annual prize for life!

Winston-Salem resident Irma Richardson recently celebrated a stroke of extraordinary luck just before her 60th birthday. Purchasing a $2 Quick Pick ticket for the Lucky for Life game's Thursday drawing via Online Play, she clinched an astonishing $25,000 a year for life prize.

Expressing her appreciation for Online Play, Richardson shared, "I love Online Play; I've been using it since its inception here." The convenience of online ticket purchases allowed her to participate seamlessly and ultimately claim her life-altering prize.

Upon receiving an email notification of her significant win, Richardson's reaction startled her husband. "I think he thought I saw something crawling on the ground or something," she chuckled. "He was like, 'What's wrong with you?'"

Given the choice between $25,000 a year for life or a lump sum payment, Richardson chose the lump sum of $390,000. After necessary state and federal tax withholdings, she pocketed $278,851. This substantial sum will significantly bolster her financial security, particularly as she nears retirement

Grateful for the unexpected early birthday present, Richardson remarked, "I'm only a few years from retirement, so this is very nice to have. I'm just glad to be here."

The Lucky for Life game offers players the option of purchasing tickets through retail locations or Online Play, with nightly drawings offering the chance to win life-changing prizes like Richardson's.
