Kiara Carlton, 23, said she always uses the same lucky numbers whenever she buys a ticket.
“I choose my numbers based on my family’s birthdays,” she said.
She bought her lucky $1 Cash 5 ticket for the June 14 drawing from Run-In on Statesville Road in North Wilkesboro.
“I was just astonished,” Carlton recalled. “You never really think that could actually happen to you.”
Carlton also said she hopes the money will help her pay for nursing school.
“I just started working in health care and I love it."
