GREENE COUNTY, N.C. (WITN) - A Maury man wants to buy a home after winning $25,000 a year for life from a $2 lottery ticket.

Stacy Radford said he bought the Lucky for Life ticket from the Speedway on Kingold Boulevard in Snow Hill.

On Friday, he chose to receive a $390,000 lump sum instead of $25,000 a year for life. He took home $279,826 after taxes.

“I’m going to buy a home to live in,” Radford said.

The odds of winning that prize are 1 in 1.8 million.
