Alfie Farlow, 54, will have a magnificent Christmas with his family after he won $2 million in the North Carolina Powerball Lottery on December 20, 2021 at the Sam\u2019s Mart on Providence Road Charlotte, NC. <\/p>\n
\u201cI told them, \u2018I think our life is about to change,\u2019\u201d Alfie told his family.<\/p>\n
Alfie said the first thing he is going to do with his winnings is put some money into an account for his two young daughters for their college tuition.<\/p>\n
Alfie bought 3 Quick Pick Power Play tickets from the gas station. He said he got up and went to work the next day without even thinking about the Powerball tickets. <\/p>\n
After he got off work, Alfie said he looked at the Powerball numbers on his friend\u2019s phone to see if he won.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw they were a match and I didn\u2019t believe it,\u201d Farlow said. \u201cIt feels so surreal. You\u2019re almost too scared to really believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alfie’s $2 million win was the largest prize won in the country in the December 20th drawing.<\/p>\n
Alfie is a machinist, and wants to buy a new home and possibly start his own trucking business.<\/p>\n
2 days after winning, Alfie arrived at lottery headquarters on Wednesday December 22nd to collect his money. After required federal and state tax with-holdings, Alfie took home $1,415,000.<\/p>\n
