Norman Mills of Lexington took a chance on a $5 scratch-off and won a $200,000 top prize.
Mills bought his lucky Game of Thrones ticket at the Han-Dee Hugo’s on Jake Alexander Boulevard in Salisbury.
He arrived at lottery headquarters Thursday to claim his prize and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $143,501.
The Game of Thrones game debuted in August with five $200,000 top prizes. Three $200,000 prizes remain to be claimed.
