Lee Swindells of Conover is celebrating after he won a $200,000 lottery prize.

His good luck happened when he stopped by the Walmart on Northwest Boulevard in Newton and bought a $5 Carolina Panthers scratch-off ticket.

He claimed the prize Friday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After required state and federal tax withholdings, he took home $141,003.

The Carolina Panthers ticket launched in August with five top prizes of $200,000. Two more top prizes remain.

All Carolina Panthers tickets can also be entered into the two remaining second-chance drawings for VIP experiences at a Panthers game. Players have the chance to win a luxury suite for all home games in the 2019 football season or a behind-the-scenes game experience.

Ticket sales from games like Carolina Panthers make it possible for the lottery to raise more than $650 million a year for education. For details on how lottery funds have made a difference in all of North Carolina’s 100 counties, click on the “Impact” section of the lottery’s website.
