CASSATT, SC – Justin Steen of Cassatt, South Carolina, became a millionaire after winning the top prize of $1 million from a $10 Ultimate Dash scratch-off ticket. Steen purchased his winning ticket from Graham Mart located on South Main Street in Graham.

Upon arriving at lottery headquarters on Wednesday, Steen faced a significant decision regarding the payout of his prize. He had the option between an annuity of $50,000 annually over 20 years or a lump sum of $600,000. Opting for the lump sum, Steen walked away with $429,003 after state and federal tax withholdings.

Additionally, players of the Ultimate Dash scratch-off have an opportunity to enter a second-chance drawing. This drawing offers participants a chance to compete in the Ultimate Dash Challenge Event at Charlotte Motor Speedway, where they can race through a warehouse for 90 seconds to grab as much merchandise as possible.
