Mark Douglas of High Point took a chance on a $20 scratch-off and won the first $100,000 prize in a new lottery game.
Douglas bought his lucky Instant Millions ticket from Quick Mart on West Main Street in Jamestown.
He arrived at lottery headquarters Friday to claim his prize and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $71,506.
Instant Millions debuted this month with four $2 million top prizes and eight $100,000 prizes. Three $2 million prizes and seven $100,000 prizes remain to be claimed.
