While claiming this big prize on Monday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh, the lucky man was with the choice of collecting a lump sum of $600,000 or a $1 million annuity divided into 20 payments of $50,000 a year. He chose the lump sum payment and took home $417,009 after state and federal tax withholdings. The $2,500 Frenzy game was launched in July with four prizes (as the top prizes) worth $1 million. It is following the same rules till date. However, two $1 million prizes remain unclaimed.
