CNN After around 40 stores and four hours of searching, one North Carolina man finally struck gold. Kevin Clark, of Candler, North Carolina, played a hunch and went on a journey to find the last top prize of the $5,000,000 Mega Cash scratch-off game. "I had a real good feeling it was going to be in the western part of the state," Clark said, according to the NC Education Lottery. After taxes, Clark went home with about $2.1 million -- not bad for four hours of work. In North Carolina, the money from selling scratch-off tickets goes to fund education in the state.
