Balmore Bermudez of Charlotte took a chance on a $20 scratch-off and won a $100,000 prize.

Bermudez bought his lucky Mega 7’s ticket from 786 C-Store on Milton Road in Charlotte. He arrived at lottery headquarters Monday to collect his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $71,256.

Mega 7’s debuted in October with four $2 million prizes and eight $100,000 prizes. Three $2 million prizes and three $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed.
