Dudley Man Wins $200,000 on Scratch-Off Ticket
RALEIGH – Celestino Herrera Martinez of Dudley tried his luck on a $5 scratch-off and won a $200,000 prize.
Martinez bought his lucky Gold Standard ticket from Best Quality Inc on U.S. 117 South Alternate in Dudley.
He arrived at lottery headquarters Wednesday to collect his prize and, after required federal and state withholdings, took home $142,501.
