N.C. woman wins $200,000 lottery prize at the store where she works

Oct. 17 (UPI) — A North Carolina woman bought a scratch-off lottery ticket while on a break from work and ended up clocking back in with a $200,000 prize.

Polkton resident Nora Huntley told North Carolina Education Lottery officials she was on a break from her job at the Marathon Food Center on U.S 74 East in Polkton when she decided to buy a 5 Times Lucky ticket, a $5 scratch-off.

“I saw a two and zero so I thought I won $20,” Huntley said.

She kept scratching and discovered her prize was actually $200,000.

“I was stunned,” she said. “I just got lucky.”

Huntley said she will share her winnings with her 15 grandchildren.

“This is really going to come in handy,” she said. “It’s a blessing.”
