Man Wins $200,000 Lotto on Way to Final Chemo Treatment
The retired Department of Transportation worker, of Pink Hill, North Carolina, was on the way to his final round of chemotherapy amid his ongoing colon cancer treatment when he stopped to buy a lottery scratch-off ticket — and won $200,000.
“I was already happy because it was my last round of chemo,” Foster told the North Carolina Education Lottery, according to a press release. “Winning this made it my lucky day.”He only spent $6 to make his $200,000. “I bought a $1 ticket and won $5,” Foster explained. “I decided to trade it in for a $5 ticket. At the last second, I decided to buy two tickets instead of one.”“I saw all those zeroes and I froze,” Foster recalled to the lottery’s website. “I didn’t believe it until I gave it to the clerk at the counter to scan. When it showed, ‘Go to lottery headquarters,’ I started shaking. I couldn’t believe it.”Foster was diagnosed with colon cancer in January, CBS News reported.
Foster claimed his prize on Friday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. The final amount after required state and federal tax withholdings? $141,501.That makes Foster’s win the top prize for Win It All, the scratch-off contest that launched in December 2018 and was scheduled to end in November. The North Carolina Education Lottery says ticket sales from games like Win It All make it possible for the lottery to raise more than $700 million a year for education.
