Sergio Tolentino-Evaristo of Raeford tried his luck on a $5 scratch-off on Sunday and won the first $200,000 top prize in a new lottery game.

Tolentino-Evaristo bought his lucky Jurassic Park ticket from Awesome Mart on Rockfish Road in Raeford.

He arrived at lottery headquarters Monday to collect his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $143,501.

The Jurassic Park game debuted this month with four $200,000 top prizes. Three $200,000 prizes remain to be claimed.

Hoke County received $50 million in grants from money raised by the lottery to build a new high school. For details on other ways the lottery made a difference in Hoke County, visit www.nclottery.com and click on the “Impact” section.
