RALEIGH, N.C. — Gov. Roy Cooper announced the fourth $1 million winner of the North Carolina vaccine lottery.
Lilly Fowler from East Bend in Yadkin County is the lucky winner. Fowler is a college student and in her senior year at NC State University. She said she planned on being frugal with her prize money, but wanted to take her sister on a nice vacation.
Cooper also announced Breelyn Dean, 15, from Garner as the winner of the final scholarship. She is a student-athlete who has a 4.0 GPA.
In early August, Audrey Chavous, 18, of Winston-Salem, was announced the $1 million prize winner. Chavous said she was in “pure shock” when she learned she’d won. She didn’t believe it at first.
“I honestly didn’t think it was a real thing. I first thought it was spam mail,” she said.
She plans to save most of the money, put some toward school, invest some, and give herself a shopping spree.
Even though the cash drawings have ended there’s still good news and you can earn a $100 cash card by getting vaccinated.
