A “Mega” win for Rita Wilkinson of Concord came as she won $100,000 playing Mega Bucks.
Wilkinson claimed her prize Thursday morning at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After required state and federal withholdings she took home $69,251.
She bought the $5 ticket at the Quality Point on Davidson Highway in Concord.
Ticket sales from games like Mega Bucks made it possible for the lottery to raise more than half a billion dollars for the state last year.
