Lottery player wins $25,000 a year for life prize in NC. Where was ticket sold?
A North Carolina lottery player scored a massive prize — and may not know it yet.
The player bought a Lucky for Life ticket that matched all but one number picked in the May 13 drawing, making it worth $25,000 a year for life, results show.
The winning numbers: white balls 4-14-17-43-44, with gold Lucky Ball 12.
The player is set to get richer after their ticket matched all five white balls. It was sold at the Quality Mart gas station and convenience store in Jonesville, a roughly 40-mile drive northwest from Winston-Salem, the N.C. Education Lottery wrote on its website and X, formerly known as Twitter.
Lucky for Life is a drawing game that offers $2 tickets. To win the top prize of $1,000 a day for life, a person's ticket must match all six numbers picked in a drawing, according to game rules.
As of about 10 a.m. May 14, the Jonesville player hadn't claimed their prize yet, a lottery spokesperson told McClatchy News via email. In North Carolina, Lucky for Life winners have roughly six months to come forward.

Musk's Allegation Against Trump Is Deleted From Social Media
President Donald Trump speaks during a news conference with Elon Musk in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, D.C, on May 30, 2025. Credit - Allison Robbert—Getty Images Amid President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's bitter online war of words, key posts have been deleted from social media. The most divisive post from Musk alleged that Trump is listed in the files related to the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and that this is why they have not been fully released to the public. Musk made the allegation on Thursday, in a post shared on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter). But as of early Saturday morning, Musk's Epstein-related post was no longer showing, with X users instead receiving a notice that reads: "Sorry, that post has been deleted." And it's not the only post of Musk's that has been deleted. Another inflammatory post from Thursday, which saw Musk respond 'yes,' endorsing a message that said 'Trump should be impeached' and that Vance 'should replace him,' is also no longer viewable on X. The deleted posts suggest that the explosive feud between Trump and his one-time ally could be thawing. Read More: Where Things Stand With the Epstein Files Following Musk's Allegation Against Trump Musk's original posts came as Trump also lobbed insults and threatened to take away government funding and contracts related to billionaire Musk's Space X company. Although things appear, for now, to be simmering down, Trump has made it clear he does not have plans to reconcile with Musk. When asked on Friday night by reporters if he intends to speak with Musk—who until recently lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—the President gave a clear response. 'No I don't have plans… I'm not even thinking about it,' Trump said on Air Force One. 'I'm not really interested in that, I'm really interested in the country, and solving problems.' However, when asked if he plans to take back the symbolic White House key that he gifted to Musk, Trump said that he has no intention of doing that."I don't take things back, I gave him a key, he tried very hard,' the President told reporters, praising the efforts of DOGE.

Vance Speaks Out After He's Dragged Into Explosive Row Between Trump and Musk Trump also appeared to defend Musk against the New York Times' reported allegations that the Tesla CEO regularly consumed ketamine, ecstasy, and psychedelic mushrooms when traveling with Trump on the campaign trail in 2024. 'I don't want to comment on his drug use. I don't know what his status is,' Trump said, when asked by reporters if he had concerns. 'I read an article in the New York Times. I thought it was, frankly, it sounded very unfair to me.' Trump's Air Force One remarks, issued late on Friday, came hours after he told ABC News that Musk had 'lost his mind.' Contact us at letters@

The Biggest Mystery of Elon Musk
Must any pair of would-be great men of history always find a path to conflict? Ask Caesar and Pompey, Octavian and Antony, Lennon and McCartney. But the specific thing they fight about is less predictable. I would not have guessed, six months ago, that Elon Musk and Donald Trump's version of the Battle of Actium would be fought over the budget deficit. That's because six months ago I understood Musk's interest in politics, his long march away from Obama-era liberalism and his reinvention of himself as the prince of the very online right, as reflecting two key goals: his newfound desire to defeat cultural progressivism, rooted in the experience of his child's gender transition, and his long-term, career-shaping desire to get human explorers to Mars. These interests reinforced each other. Musk was already moving rightward on cultural issues when his purchase of Twitter, a particular Rubicon, led him to shed the leftward political alliances that once yielded Democratic patronage and support. This strengthened his financial incentives to go all in for Trump and the Republicans, because it was clear that a Kamala Harris administration would be unremittingly hostile to his technological projects. He had already been willing to make all kinds of wild business gambles for those projects, the dream of Mars-bound rockets above all, so placing a stark political bet was second nature. Given that reading of his intentions, I assumed that Musk's role in a second Trump administration would be some combination of first technologist, deregulator in chief and anti-woke crusader — a space and tech focus with a side of culture war. But that isn't what happened. We did get the third role to some extent in some of the ideological justifications for the DOGE campaign against U.S.A.I.D., but Musk wasn't really the point man for the White House's anti-woke battles. Nor did Musk assume a leading role in the administration's deregulatory efforts. That seemed to be part of the initial plan for DOGE, but it went into abeyance when Musk forced out Vivek Ramaswamy.

The advice Elon Musk's lawyer gives his high-profile clients in times of crisis
High profile attorney Alex Spiro has one key piece of advice for clients wading through tricky times: Don't panic. The words of wisdom were shared as one of his most high-profile clients, Elon Musk, is in the midst of a public feud with President Donald Trump. It's unclear if or how the attorney is guiding him through this particular debacle. The lawyer, who has also represented Alec Baldwin, Mayor Eric Adams, and Jay-Z, through muddy legal waters, shared the advice he gives to clients during times of crisis at the Forbes Iconoclast Summit on Thursday. "You got to get people to take a breath and not panic," Spiro said, adding that it's easier for some people to do so more than others. A source close to Spiro got more specific. Those who know him know that his No. 1 piece of advice is to "have an ice-cream cone." In other words, step away from the keyboard and cool off. "Nothing is better than chocolate ice cream," the source close to Spiro said. The attorney isn't certain whether clients listen to the advice, but they at least pretend to, the source said. Spiro, who spends a good chunk of his time on risk mitigation, told the Iconoclast Summit attendees that he tries to get clients to put their situation into perspective and focus on the facts and evidence in front of them. "The sky is not falling," Sprio said. "The things that we think are a big deal today won't be a big deal in a month." While most CEOs aren't publicly blasting the president on social media, many are navigating global and economic uncertainty, from looming tariffs to market volatility. Spiro said the best CEOs and CFOs he knows know how to take a "methodical" approach to uncertainty, which in the case of tariffs, would involve looking into their supply chains and preparing for what may happen next. "I try to follow and steal the best ideas from the smartest people I know and then tell others about it," Spiro said. "That works out usually." Musk is one of those people. Spiro said on Thursday that Musk likes to cut costs during times of uncertainty because it leaves organizations more nimble on the other side. The billionaire is most recently known for doing so in the government, where he led efforts to slash about 20,000 federal employees, or about 1% of its workforce. Musk also laid off 10% of Tesla's workforce in waves last year and cut Twitter's workforce in half after he purchased it in 2022.
