RALEIGH — A Greensboro man won a $200,000 prize after buying a $5 ticket, according to a release from the NC Education Lottery.
Eddie Odom, a James Bond movie fan, told lottery officials he was feeling lucky when he bought the "James Bond 007" ticket.
“Your hands are itching, you’re feeling lucky so you just buy some tickets,” Odom said in the news release. He claimed his prize last week at lottery headquarters.

Very clever. :)
