A Bertie County truck driver won $1 million on a scratch off lottery ticket on Tuesday.
Michael Thompson, of Kelford, played the $10 Carolina Gold instant win game he bought in the Northampton County town of Rich Square.
Thompson chose a lump sum payment of $680,000 and after taxes received a check for $462,403. He plans to pay some bills, slow down at work a bit, and enjoy life more.
