Steven Bell of Wilmington took a chance on a $5 scratch-off and won a $200,000 prize.

Bell purchased his Mega Bucks ticket from the Circle K on Castle Hayne Road in Castle Hayne.

He collected his prize at lottery headquarters Monday and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $142,501.
