Bryan Lofton moved to Greensboro several months ago with his wife and kids from Maryland.
“I already liked it here but I’m definitely loving North Carolina now,” he said. “This is just icing on the cake.”
The icing was a $200,000 lottery win for Lofton. The 39-year-old bought a $5 lucky Lincoln scratch-off ticket from the Sheetz on U.S. 29 North in Greensboro.
“My heart was racing,” Lofton recalled. “I read it like 50 times to make sure.” He said he immediately called his wife to tell her the good news.
“She didn’t believe me at first because I’m a prankster,” he said. “I’m always playing jokes on her.”
Lofton said the money could help them buy a new house. “This comes at the perfect time for us,” Lofton said.
