Craven County construction worker calls $250,000 win “a game changer”

After working all day in the sun, Kirk Nyberg Jr. of New Bern stopped by the store for cigarettes, added a $5 scratch-off, and won a $250,000 prize.

“It’s a game changer for me,” Nyberg said.

Nyberg, a 35-year-old construction worker, bought his lucky Mega Bucks Limited Edition ticket from the Speedway on N.C. 43 in Vanceboro.

He arrived to collect his prize Thursday and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $177,526.

“I want to buy my mom a new car,” Nyberg said. “Probably a van for her grandkids.”

Mega Bucks Limited Edition debuted this month with five $250,000 prizes. Three $250,000 prizes remain to be claimed.

Buying your mom a van so she will look after your kids more is a strategy I can get behind.
