Lythe El-Hulu of Mint Hill took a chance on a $5 scratch-off ticket and won a $200,000 prize.
El-Hulu bought his lucky Hot 5’s ticket from Stars Mart on West C Street in Kannapolis.
He stopped by lottery headquarters Monday to claim his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $142,501.
The Hot 5’s game debuted July of 2022 with five top prizes of $200,000. Since El-Hulu won the last top prize, the lottery will begin the process of ending the game.
