NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — A Wilmington woman became the second player to win the $200,000 top prize in the new Jeep scratch-off game.

Margaret Smith bought the winning ticket Friday at Island True Value Tackle on North Lake Park Boulevard in Carolina Beach.

After taxes, Smith took home $139,003.

The NC Education Lottery and Jeep teamed up to create the Jeep scratch-off game. Besides a $200,000 top prize, players can enter their tickets into second-chance drawings for a chance to win either a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, or a Jeep Renegade Trailhawk.
