Mocksville Man Wins $1 Million Lottery Prize

Local resident claims top prize in Mega Millions drawing

Mocksville, NC - A Mocksville man is the lucky winner of a $1 million lottery prize after matching all five white balls in the Mega Millions drawing on Friday, January 13, 2023. The winning numbers were 7, 13, 14, 15, and 18, and the Mega Ball number was 9.

The winner, who has chosen to remain anonymous, purchased his winning ticket at the Mocksville Food Mart on Main Street. He matched all five white balls but missed the Mega Ball number, which would have earned him the top prize of $20 million. Despite not winning the jackpot, the man is still thrilled with his $1 million prize.

"I'm still in shock," said the winner. "I never thought I would win the lottery, let alone win $1 million. It's an incredible feeling." The winner plans to use his prize money to pay off his mortgage, invest in his children's education, and take a dream vacation to Europe.

"This is life-changing money for me and my family," said the winner. "I'm so grateful for this opportunity."

The Mega Millions lottery is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302.6 million.
