For Souleymane Sana, a New Bern resident and Mali native, a $100,000 (Rs 82,81,000) scratch-off victory will allow him to help pupils in his birthplace.
A North Carolina resident who won $100,000 on a lottery scratch-off ticket says it is his “dream” to use his winnings to create additional schools in his home state.
According to the state lottery, Souleymane Sana, 39, purchased his $30 Millionaire Maker winning scratch-off at a petrol station in Kinston, North Carolina.
Sana, a Mali dancing instructor, said he founded a foundation to assist people in the United States. He now wants to do more with this new check. “I’m going to keep doing my best to help build more classrooms for the children of Mali,” Sana said to lottery authorities.
“That is the thing that really makes me happy. My dream is just coming true little by little,” he concluded, “and I hope it will continue.”

In addition to schools, Sana stated that he wished to build a dance center. “I love to dance, and I want to teach the children of Mali to love it, too,” he stated, according to lottery officials. “If you talk about culture and education, they both go together.”
According to a state lottery press release, Sana chose the lump-sum option and got $71,259 after taxes. During his interview with lottery officials, he stated that he would continue to play scratch-offs in order to win money and help others.
Mali is considered one of the poorest countries in the world. It faces numerous economic and development challenges, including high poverty rates, limited access to education and healthcare, inadequate infrastructure, and a heavily agrarian economy.

Mali also struggles with political instability, armed conflicts, and regional security issues, which further hinder its economic progress. The majority of the population relies on subsistence farming and informal economic activities for their livelihoods.
However, it’s important to note that while Mali faces significant economic hardships, it is also a country rich in cultural heritage and has a resilient and vibrant population.
Efforts are being made, both internally and through international assistance, to address the socio-economic issues and improve the living conditions in Mali with the generous help of people like Sana.
