YANCEYVILLE, N.C. — Feeling lucky?

Well, Ve'Cara Lipscomb of Blanch was. She turned $5 to $200,000.

Lipscomb works at the Westside Shell on US 158 in Yanceyville. While at work, she decided to buy a Bonus Bucks ticket. 

She took home $142,021 after taxes Thursday. 

Ticket sales from scratch-off games make it possible for the lottery to raise more than $2.5 million a day on average for education. A $15 million grant, using money raised by the lottery, helped Caswell County build the brand-new Bartlett Yancey Senior High School.
