Wilson County dad will pay for daughter’s education with $200,000 win

Bobby Coleman of Kenly stopped for gas Tuesday evening, added a $5 scratch-off, and bagged the first $200,000 top prize in a new game.

“It really still hasn’t hit me yet,” he said.

Coleman said he already knows what he will do with his winnings.

“I can use this for my daughter’s education,” he said.

Coleman bought his lucky Bankroll ticket from Oasis on South Church Street in Kenly.

“I like playing the new tickets,” Coleman said.

He arrived at lottery headquarters Thursday to claim his prize and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $143,001.

In addition to his daughter’s education, Coleman said he will use his winnings for some home repairs.

The Bankroll game debuted in March with five top prizes of $200,000. Four $200,000 prizes remain to be claimed.

A $15 million grant, using money raised by the lottery, helped Wilson County Schools build the Wilson Academy of Applied Technology. For more details on how money raised by the lottery made a difference in Wilson County last year, visit www.nclottery.com and click on the “Impact” section.

Congratulations to all winners. Playing in NC is like throwing money away. I watch other states drop quads at least 1 time per year. Nc wait for years. The only way to hit them is playing fireball. I do so much better traveling and playing in sc or Va. it’s worth the drive for me.

Look at the recent winners and you’ll see they’re all over the state and they’re on the coast. They’re in the mountains. It only took 20 years of fussing and complaining about Raleigh and Charlotte before they finally started letting scratch off winners all over the state. What a shame. The lottery will go back to its old ways…trust me But for now they seem to be honest for a change.
