June 23 (UPI) -- A North Carolina man said some advice from his brother led to his winning a $100,000 prize from a scratch-off lottery ticket.
Hickory resident Patrick Kelly told North Carolina Education Lottery officials he doesn't normally buy scratch-off tickets, but his brother convinced him to try his luck on a $20 ticket.
"He recommended I buy that one," Kelly said.
He selected a 100X The Cash ticket from the Raceway on U.S. 321 in Hickory and discovered he was a $100,000 winner.
"I was dumbfounded," Kelly recalled of the moment he discovered the prize amount.
