Most of the time, winning the lottery and walking away with a sizable sum of money enables a person to realise their needs and goals. However, Mali native and New Bern resident Souleymane Sana will have the opportunity to assist the schoolchildren in his hometown thanks to a $100,000 (Rs 82,81,000) scratch-off win. "I'll keep trying my hardest to contribute to the construction of additional classrooms for the kids in Mali. That is what truly brings me joy, he declared. Mr. Sana said that he started a nonprofit organisation to help the people in his own country. "This was my dream. That was one of the main reasons I bought that scratch ticket-to be able to keep helping them," Mr Sana said. The North Carolina lottery stated in a release that "Sana, a 39-year-old dance instructor, purchased his $30 Millionaire Maker ticket from Neuse Shop & Fuel on West New Bern Road in Kinston." He collected his prize at lottery headquarters and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $71,259.
