RANDOLPH COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) — Matthew Goins, of Franklinville, bought a $5 scratch-off on Wednesday and won a $200,000 top prize, according to an NC Education Lottery news release.
“Something just told me to go get that ticket,” Goins said.
He bought his winning Jurassic Park ticket from DD Express Biscoe on East Main Street in Biscoe.
“My son is really big into Jurassic Park,” Goins said. “I was drawn to the tickets because of the second-chance trip to Hawaii.”
Goins said it took some time to process his win.
“I really couldn’t believe it,” he said. “I still don’t believe it.”
He arrived at lottery headquarters on Thursday to collect his prize.
After required state and federal tax withholdings, he took home $143,501.
He plans to use his winnings to buy a Toyota truck.
