North Carolina Education Lottery officials said the ticketholder will speak Tuesday afternoon at the state lottery's headquarters. The unidentified winner purchased the ticket at a gas station in Kings Mountain and was the only winner in Saturday's drawing.
The ticket is worth $88 million, and the winner can choose to collect the money in 30 payments over 29 years or take a lump-sum payment worth about $42 million minus state and federal taxes.
