Many people who play the lottery win the first time. Just like Thomas Perry of Gastonia who won $200,000 from a $5 scratch-off purchase. Perry bought his lucky Ruby Red 7’s ticket from the Save Mart on Union Road in Gastonia. After scratching his ticket to his car to see his winnings, he also scanned the ticket in the store. Perry collected his prize Tuesday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh and, after required federal and state withholdings, took home $142,501. Now Perry can do some things he’s wanted for quite some time. Those Ruby Red 7’s debuted in December with six $200,000 prizes. One $200,000 prize remains to be claimed. Maybe it can be yours.
