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.

Mega Bucks debuted in June with eight $200,000 prizes. Four $200,000 prizes remain to be claimed.

Wow! Congratulations on your big win! I like it when people tells their story of what they are going to do with the winnings. Guess, it's none of our business.
