A local youth

is cashing in on his hunger after unwrapping a candy bar that made him

a $100,000 winner.

You can bet

Nicholas Evans of Peachtree City won't forget eating that Snickers bar

back in August while playing the Braelinn Golf Course after school with

some friends.

Feeling a twinge

of hunger, the 16-year-old junior at Starr's Mill High School bought the

bar from an honor concession stand in someone's backyard.

For the rest

of the round, golf didn't matter.

"We all

talked about the wrapper," Evans said.

One friend

tried to convince Evans that he wasn't actually a winner. But a reading

of the fine print inside the wrapper at home revealed otherwise.

"I'm just

happened to look, and I'm glad I did," Evans said.

Evans' friends

"think I'm the luckiest person ever," he admits.

"We all

think that, too," said his mother, Karen.

Evans got a

$99,000 check in the mail this week to supplement the $1,000 check Snickers

had mailed him originally due to a glitch. He plans to buy a used Toyota

4-Runner and invest almost all of the rest of the proceeds.

The investment

idea came from mom and his father, John. Though he wanted to spend more

of the money after buying a car, Nicholas sees the rationale for saving

up.

"I'd like

to spend more than they want me to, but I'll probably be better off down

the road when I get older," he said.

"Maybe

someday he can put a down payment on a house if we play it right,"

Karen Evans said.
