As of early yesterday afternoon the winner had still not come forward according to our source, the Charlotte Observer. And in North Carolina, winners have six months to claim their prize. So if you know you won over a million dollars, why not go ahead and step forward? I can only guess it is because they know that in the Tar Heel State, lottery winners are revealed. Maybe he or she is getting their financial plan in order before the prize is claimed.

Whoever you are, I am happy for you. I hope this money is used for good for your family and your community. It is always fun to dream about what you would do if you "win the lottery". I must say, part time work would be nice. Setting things up nicely for family and give to causes near and dear to the hearts of the community. Ahhhh most of us can only dream. But 1 North Carolina store sold a winning lottery ticket worth over a million.
