Lenoir County cancer patient wins $200,000 instant prize

Ronnie Foster of Pink Hill said winning a $200,000 lottery prize on the way to the doctor made his last cancer treatment a lot easier. 
 
“I was already happy because it was my last round of chemo,” said Foster, who’s battling colon cancer. “Winning this made it my lucky day.”
 
The retired Department of Transportation worker bought the lucky Win It All scratch-off ticket when he stopped at the Short Stop on Jackson Street in Beulaville on his way to the hospital. 
 
“I bought a $1 ticket and won $5,” Foster said. “I decided to trade it in for a $5 ticket. At the last second, I decided to buy two tickets instead of one.” 
 
Foster scratched the first ticket and didn’t win anything. Then he scratched the second one. 
 
“I saw all those zeroes and I froze,” Foster said. “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 claimed his prize Friday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After required state and federal tax withholdings, he took home $141,501. Foster said he plans to use some of the money to pay his medical bills and save for the future.  
 
“I have good insurance,” Foster said. “But there is still some cost. This will make it a whole lot easier.”
 
Win It All launched in December 2018 and was scheduled to end in November. Foster won the last top prize.

I hope I get cancer, maybe then I'll win.NC Lottery
Hi there Charles, Who wins playing games of chance is a matter of random chance. The games and tickets don't make judgments about who is more deserving to win, it’s all luck. We meet lottery winners of all kinds, those who have a lot already and those who do not. It's important to remember that whether you've never played the lottery before, have played once before, or many times before --none of that affects your odds of winning.

Awe!!!!!! We love it. God bless you with better healthy days ahead I’m so happy someone like you won so that it can ease some of what you have been going through. Congratulations

Congrats. A word of advice. IF you win a large prize, do NOT broadcast to everyone in the store that you won. It's not safe. I wouldn't even trust the clerk. A few years ago clerks were being busted left and right for scamming unwitting players out of their winnings. IF you don't know how to play, learn how. I wouldn't even scratch it at the store but would wait until I get home. The less people that know, the better. Safety first and common sense. NC Lottery
Always a good reminder to protect your play, Tim! Last year we completed retailer compliance checks and of those checks conducted between November 2016 and June 2018, our security team checked 247 retail locations in 47 counties and 108 cities and towns, and 245 passed. https://www.nclottery.com/News/2018/8/21/Lottery-completes-retail-compliance-checks
