Laura Nelson of Fayetteville took a chance on a $5 scratch-off ticket and won the first $200,000 prize in a new lottery game.

Nelson bought her lucky Hot 5’s ticket from the One Stop Shop on Strickland Bridge Road in Fayetteville. She stopped by lottery headquarters Thursday to claim her prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $142,021.

The Hot 5’s game debuted this month with five top prizes of $200,000. Four $200,000 prizes remain to be claimed.

Where were all of those Lucky For Life big winners purchased? In the past month or two the top two prizes have been hit maybe 3 or 4 times in NC. This is the only game you guys don’t post winning info for and it’s my favorite game :(NC Lottery
Hi Danielle, in the last month players from Goldsboro, NC and Fort Mill, SC have won $25,000 a year for life! Here are links to those stories: http://bit.ly/3AA3F0h and http://bit.ly/3n9YE6O. Make sure to follow our blog and social media channels to keep up with all the big winner stories!

Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for all these winners!! I'm wondering does anyone win big prizes playing online vs playing in store. It seems the bigger prizes are in store.NC Lottery
Hi Candace, great question! The chances of winning on a ticket purchased in a store or via Online Play are the same, but the number of people who play online is smaller so you might not hear about those wins quite as often.

Congratulations:)

Congratulations to you and I wish you many more wonderful wins.
