Randleman man hits multiple lottery jackpots in NC

RANDLEMAN, N.C. (AP) – The North Carolina Education Lottery
hands out more than $2 million in prizes per day, and a Randleman
man has won a healthy share of it.

A lottery official says Carlton Hill’s name shows up 23 times on
a list of winners since 2009. WRAL-TV reports that Hill won a $1,000 prize 21 times. He says he also won a new
car, sold it and paid off his house 10 years ahead of time with the
money he received.

The lottery sold its first instant scratch-off ticket nearly six
years ago.

Meanwhile, an unidentified Wake County man who has won at least
$1,000 on scratch-offs 26 times said his wife made him quit because
he lost more money than he won.
