Kevin Clark won $5 million after going to dozens of stores to snag tickets for the $5,000,000 Mega Cash game, the N.C. Education Lottery said last week in a news release."When I scratched it off I couldn't believe it," he said of checking his lucky ticket, according to the release. "I started shaking. And then I cried."

Clark's good fortune came after four hours of looking for lottery tickets in Buncombe County, home to Asheville, officials say. He had done research and wanted to seek out the last top Mega Cash prize, according to the lottery.

"I had a real good feeling it was going to be in the western part of the state," Clark said in the news release. "I went to about 40 different stores and bought every single last Mega Cash ticket I could find."
The ticket he bought at a Stop-N-Go in Swannanoa made him a millionaire, the release said.

Clark took his prize in a lump sum and kept $2.1 million after taxes, according to the N.C. Education Lottery."I'm a simple man and I mow grass," he told lottery officials. "But I've always been interested in real estate, so my biggest plans with the majority of the money is to invest in real estate and some small businesses."
