Wilmington man wants to use second big lottery win to help his community

John Robbins of Wilmington won big playing the lottery two years ago and he just did it again with a $100,000 scratch-off win.

Robbins previously won $2 million on an Ultimate 7’s ticket in May of 2022.

“I was told lightning can’t strike twice but I guess it can,” Robbins said.

He bought his lucky $30 Black Titanium ticket from the Han-Dee Hugo’s on North College Road in Wilmington, the same store where he won his first big prize.

“I was definitely excited because I have some dreams I want to work on,” he said.

For Robbins, giving back to the Wilmington community has been a passion for a long time.

“My dream is to make a difference in Wilmington,” Robbins said. “I want to give back to people here who are less fortunate. I want to do something to help change that."

He arrived at lottery headquarters Monday to collect his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $71,509.

The Black Titanium game debuted last June with six $4 million top prizes and 16 $100,000 prizes. Three $4 million prizes and five $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed.
