Bryan Maldonado of Lenoir tried his luck on a $5 scratch-off ticket and won a $200,000 prize.
Maldonado bought his lucky Sapphire 7s ticket from the Speedway on U.S. 70 in Hickory. He arrived at lottery headquarters on Monday to collect his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $142,021.
The Sapphire 7s game launched in December with six top prizes of $200,000. Three top prizes remain to be claimed.
