Dale and wife Robin Summey with his son Dustin share the big check at the North Carolina Lottery headquarters.

The biggest scratch-off prize ever won made state history in September. And a Lexington handyman may hang up his hammer for good - he's $10 million richer!

A Lexington couple won the record amount in the Ultimate Millions scratch-off game.

The win also ranks as the seventh largest overall prize won by a North Carolinian in the lottery, coming behind a $12 million Mega Millions jackpot win.

“It feels wonderful,” Summey said of his win, according to a statement provided by lottery officials. “But it is still hard to believe. It is. It’s wonderful, and it’s a blessing.”

Players who win the $10 million can choose to take the prize as an annuity, receiving $500,000 a year for 20 years, or as a lump sum of $6 million.

Summey and his wife chose the lump sum of $6 million. After state and federal taxes were withheld they received $4.1 million.

There are still another three $10 Million prizes left to play in the Ultimate Millions game.

The number of prizes left at 13 October 2015. You can get up-to-date Ultimate Millions results here.
