When her husband asked her to skip a trip over the Labor Day weekend, a woman in Kentucky did, and it turned out to be a good choice.
The woman’s husband laughed and told Kentucky lottery workers, “I just wanted to watch football.” So, the couple didn’t go to the lake and instead went home.
On their way home, they stopped to buy two scratch-off tickets, one for each of them.
The woman joked, “He wanted to scratch the 500X ticket, so I just gave it to him.”
She had no idea that the Millionaire Club ticket would be the big winner in the end.
The woman knew they had won at least $1,000 as she scratched off the gifts. They said they couldn’t believe how much they had won as she kept giving out gifts.
She said, “We know math, but it was hard to figure out 20 times 50 at that time.”
The ticket showed that there was a $10,000 bonus win and four spots worth $50.000 each to win the game’s second prize of $50,000.
There was a check for $36,000 in their pocket after taxes. They’re going to pay off some debts and save the rest of the money.
