Morehead Woman a Lucky Millionaire; Scratched Off Ticket Worth $50,000 a Year for 20 Years! 04/15/08 Teresa Blevins, 50, of Morehead, walked into White’s Ready Mart yesterday morning to buy a few Kentucky Lottery scratch-off tickets. She walked out of the store moments later an instant millionaire.
After purchasing a $20 Kentucky Lucky Millionaire ticket I scratched off the top part of the ticket and handed it to the clerk to scan. When she scanned it and got the message ‘prize exceeds cashing ticket’ she yelled for the owner to come up front to take a look. He scanned it again and that’s when they told me that I had won $1 million, Teresa told Kentucky lottery officials. I was just floored, Teresa said. I couldn’t believe it. Apparently everyone else couldn’t believe it either because everyone she called to tell the news didn’t believe her. Penny called her husband and she had to take her mom to Louisville. He immediately thought something was wrong and that she was taking her to the hospital. He never imagined it was Kentucky lottery headquarters that she was taking her to. Teresa chose to take the cash option.
David Harris, 52, a driver for Harrell Trucking, stopped off at Storey’s Sureway in Henderson, KY this past Monday night for what he says is the best 8-piece chicken dinner. While he was in the store Harris bought Kentucky Lottery scratch-off tickets. Winning some money back from the tickets he decided to buy a $10 KY Mega Cash scratch-off ticket. It was the last one on the roll so I was hesitant to buy it but I decided to go ahead and get it, Harris said. He scratched it off there in the store when he realized he had won $150,000.
I wondered at first if it was for real. I never dreamed of winning the top prize, Harris told KY lottery officials. Since he was skeptical, he had the store clerk scan the ticket to make sure it was indeed a winner. She began to yell, ‘I sold it, I sold it,’ Harris said. Harris walked out of Kentucky lottery headquarters Friday afternoon with a check for $103,500 after taxes and plans to put the winnings toward a down payment on a house and pay off debt. Harris is married and has six children and ten grandchildren.
Truck Driver Has Route Like No Other.When Bertha Phillips left with her truck to deliver a load to Lexington, KY a few days ago, little did she imagine she was about to embark on a journey that would cover three states, cause her to travel through ice storms, see her sleep in her truck - and end with her winning a $200,000 Powerball prize!
Phillips is an over-the-road driver for USA Trucking based out of Nashville. As she left with a load bound for Kentucky this past Wednesday (February 20th), she decided to stop for gas at a Pilot Truck Stop in Simpsonville. I knew they weren’t on my approved list of vendors, but I thought I’d stop anyway to see if they would accept my company fuel card, she said. When I went in they told me they couldn’t use my company card for gas, but the manager said the Powerball drawing was in a few hours and while I was there I should pick up some tickets.
After leaving her delivery in Lexington, she called the Kentucky Lottery’s winning numbers hotline to see what numbers had been drawn for that evening. She wrote them down, but didn’t check her ticket. They sounded familiar, but I didn’t think too much of it, Phillips said.
On the next morning (Thursday) she checked her numbers, and that’s when Phillips discovered her ticket matched all of the white ball numbers but not the Powerball. I cried and cried and just couldn’t believe it, Phillips laughed. Her adventure however was just beginning.
While a lot of people hope to be able to pay off their debt, Brian Whitaker plans to do just that with the $100,000 he won last week from playing the Kentucky Lottery. The 35-year-old man from Nancy went into the Fast Track Market in Somerset and bought a $10 Cash Flurry scratch-off ticket. Brian doesn’t buy lottery tickets often and had gone into the store for something else. While checking out, the store clerk told me they had sold a $500 ticket there at the store recently so I decided to buy one, he told lottery officials.
Brian took the ticket back to his business where he started to get things ready for the day. I sat down for a minute and decided to scratch off the ticket when I saw that I had won $100,000, Brian said . I called my mom and said, ‘I think I just won $100,000’! Brian asked her to stay on the line while he drove back to the store to have the ticket checked. The clerk scanned the ticket and started crying and hugging me. Then she got on the phone to tell my mom that it was true, that I had really won $100k. I just shook like a leaf, Brian said. I just couldn’t believe it. I immediately thought that I’m going to be debt free and that we could start the year off with a fresh start. Brian is married and has two daughters.
