A North Carolina man battling colon cancer got more than a good diagnosis when he won $200,000 on a lotto ticket that he purchased on his way to chemotherapy treatment.

“Winning this made it my lucky day,” said Ronnie Foster of the Win It All scratch-off ticket. “I was already happy because it was my last round of chemo.”

Foster, a retired Department of Transportation worker, said he was in disbelief when he first scratched the ticket, revealing the winning combination, according to a North Carolina Education Lottery press release.

“I saw all those zeroes and I froze,” Foster said.

“I didn’t believe it until I gave it to the clerk at the counter to scan. When it showed, ‘Go to lottery headquarters,’ I started shaking. I couldn’t believe it.”

Foster claimed his prize on Friday. After taxes, he went home with $141,501.

He said some of his winnings will go towards his medical expenses.

“I have good insurance,” Foster said.

“But there is still some cost. This will make it a whole lot easier.”
