Well NCEL has no choice since taxes were to be taken out.

Why don't you suggest to them to have a million dollar taxes paid ticket

Congrats to Terry on his win.

As far as NCEL paying out only $424,000 on a million dollar winner?

Do better.

What wonderful fortune for Terry Splawn! I was actually surprised that he didn't opt for the annuity on this second prize (since the first one was already spent and it's only been 2 years...) Regardless - wonderful news and lovely story

Congratulations to Terry Splawn!

Good work by the NCEL Security team. Do investigate big winners. You could be a good example for other States.
