Anyelo Galvan Duran of Raleigh took a chance on a $20 scratch-off ticket and won a $100,000 prize.
Duran bought his lucky $2,000,000 Riches ticket from EZ Way on Poole Drive in Garner. He arrived at lottery headquarters Wednesday to collect his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $71,256.
