Elizabeth Agueda Arizmendi of Creedmoor took a chance on a $30 scratch-off and won the first $100,000 prize in a new lottery game.
Arizmendi purchased her lucky Millionaire Bucks ticket from the Wegmans on Davis Drive in Morrisville.
She collected her prize at lottery headquarters Thursday and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $71,509.
The Millionaire Bucks game debuted this month with four $5 million top prizes and 10 $100,000 prizes. Four $5 million prizes and nine $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed.
