FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.- A Fayetteville woman won $200,000 in a new North Carolina lottery scratch off game.

Laura Nelson bought her lucky Hot 5's ticket from the One Stop Shop on Strickland Bridge Road in Fayetteville. The store will receive a bonus of $200 for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket. 

The Hot 5's game launched the first week in July. It has five top prizes of $200,000--well it had five; now there's only four left.

Nelson claimed her prize Thursday and took home $142,021 after taxes.

Nelson wishes to organize a party and celebrate her win with her close family and friends.
