Wayne County Dad Plans A Family Trip To Disney World After $1 Million Win

GOLDSBORO, N.C. – Willie Dennis of Goldsboro will take a magical trip with his four daughters after he won the first $1 million top prize in a new lottery game.

“I’m going to take them to Disney World,” he said. “They’ve never been before.”

Dennis bought his lucky Moneybag Cashword scratch-off on Saturday from Adams Convenient Mart on West Ash Street in Goldsboro.

“Every time I go in the store it’s been catching my eye,” he said.

When Dennis arrived at lottery headquarters on Monday, he had a decision to make. He could choose to receive his prize as an annuity of $50,000 over 20 years or a lump sum of $600,000. He chose the lump sum of $600,000 and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $432,063.

The Moneybag Cashword game debuted in October with four $1 million top prizes. Three $1 million prizes remain to be claimed.
