A Wendell truck driver’s luck paid off and he will now collect $25,000 a year for the rest of his life.
N.C. Education Lottery says Alton Bailey, a truck driver for 25 years, arrived at the lottery headquarters Friday without knowing what prize he’d won.
Bailey had played the Lucky for Life game. “I really didn’t know how much I won until I got here,” he said.
“I was just hoping it was something great.” Bailey bought his ticket for $2 from Riley Hill Mart on Riley Hill Road in Wendell.
He won by matching all five white balls in the drawing.
Bailey said the first thing he did when he learned he’d won $25,000 a year for life was smile. “Then I started sweating,” Bailey said.
