PINEVILLE, N.C. — A Pineville man won $1 million from a Money Maker Second Chance drawing.
Kourtnie Daugherty won the grand prize in the third of four $8 million drawings. He said he could hardly believe it when he got the call that he had won.
“I was flabbergasted,” Daugherty said. “This is just surreal. I don’t know how to feel.”
He took his winning ticket to the lottery headquarters Friday. After taxes, Daugherty took home around $432,000.
“It’s been a crazy 24 hours,” Daugherty said.
He said he used the money to pay off the home he bought last month. Now, he’s planning a trip to Puerto Rico.
