After required state and federal tax withholdings Duncan, who works as a machine mechanic, brought home $4,245,009.
Duncan added that he "always told people that one day I'd hit the lottery."
"When I saw the money symbol I knew I won something," he said. "When I scratched off the prize I couldn't believe it. I was so shocked I couldn't drive. I had to call my brother to come get me."
The $30 ticket launched in August with four top prizes of $10 million and 16 $1 million prizes available, according to the North Carolina Lottery. After Duncan's win two $10 million prizes and nine $1 million prizes remain.
