RALEIGH, N.C. — Brandon Jones, is a Davie County man, an electrical mechanical engineer in the U.S. Army, and a $150,000 lottery winner.
“You don’t believe it at first,” Jones, said Monday as he arrived at lottery headquarters in Raleigh to claim his prize. “It’s like a big jolt to your body, like adrenaline. Pretty cool.”
Jones said he purchased his winning ticket for $5 at the Home Run in Salisbury.
