Gloria Joyce of Greenville tried her luck on a digital instant game and won a $591,795 jackpot.

Joyce played for 50 cents on Jan. 30 and won the top jackpot in the Wheel of Fortune game. The digital instant game features a progressive jackpot that can be won any time. The odds of that win are 1 in 100 million.

She claimed her prize Thursday at lottery headquarters and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $426,152.

In the Wheel of Fortune digital instant game, a player can play from 50 cents to $30. After Joyce won the jackpot, it restarted at $150,000 and has grown to over $955,000 as of Friday afternoon.

Digital instant games are played exclusively online on the lottery’s website or on the NC Lottery Official Mobile App. Sixty-five different games are available to play online now.

Today 02/23/2026 I got online to play the digital games. Before picking One I was checking out the Jp amounts. Wheel of Fortune, The Loot, and Monopoly, All the were over 1 Million dollars before I started playing the game around 5:45pm. I decided to start off with the demo on a different game. I played the demo game for over a hour. Once I decided to play with real money I went back out to find another game. What I saw was highly unusual. All 3 games wheel of Fortune, Monopoly, and The Loot. All 3 if those games jackpots were hit in a hour time span. All , 3 games jackpots were reset. Now how is those odds possible. Make it make sense people!!!NC Lottery
Hi, Jeffrey! Wheel of Fortune, Monopoly, and Outlaw's Loot all share a jackpot pool, called "Super Spin Jackpots." The jackpot was won yesterday with a Wheel of Fortune play and after the win, the Super Spin Jackpots reset.
