Wake County Man Plans To Have A Party After Winning $200,000 Top Prize

RALEIGH – Prabin Kurmi of Cary plans to celebrate after he took a chance on a Digital Instant game on Monday and won a $200,000 top prize.

“I’m going to have a party,” he said.

Kurmi won his big prize on a $2 play in the 20 Years Celebration game. The odds of that win were 1 in 20 million.

Kurmi arrived at the lottery headquarters Tuesday to claim his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $144,021.

This is not the first time Kurmi has claimed a big prize as he previously won over $22,000 playing Carolina Keno last year.

In addition to throwing a party, Kurmi plans to use his winnings to buy a Toyota.
