Lottery player wins $500 — then scores life-changing prize in NC. ‘Go big or go home’
A lottery player won $500 — then scored an even bigger prize in North Carolina. “Go big or go home,” James Vandling told the N.C. Education Lottery after he tried his luck on a second ticket that was worth $1 million. Now Vandling, a grandfather from Alamance County, is planning for a “dream vacation.”
