Mark Hicks of Dudley took a chance on a $5 scratch-off and won the first $200,000 top prize in a new scratch-off game.

Hicks bought his lucky $5 MONOPOLY® ticket from Best Quality on U.S. 117 South Alt in Dudley.

He arrived at lottery headquarters Monday to claim his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $143,501.

The $5 MONOPOLY® game debuted in November with five $200,000 top prizes. Four $200,000 prizes remain to be claimed.

Wayne County has received state grants totaling over $28 million from monies raised by the lottery to help build a new elementary school. For details on other ways money raised by the lottery made a difference in Wayne County, visit www.nclottery.com and click on the “Impact” section.
