Jeffrey Cline of Ararat took a chance on a $5 scratch-off and won a $200,000 top prize.
Cline bought his lucky Double Your Money ticket from Breeze Mart on Old U.S. 601 in Mount Airy.
He arrived at lottery headquarters Thursday to claim his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $143,501.
