July 12, 2011
“I’ve dreamed many times how I would react if I’d won,” Larry Thomas of Princeton told lottery officials. “I found out really quick,” he said.
Thomas discovered on the night of the Three Line Lotto drawing on July 8 th, he had matched all six numbers on his ticket to win the jackpot of $100,000.
“It was around midnight when I checked my ticket on the Internet and saw my numbers match up,” he said.
After waking his wife Sandy up, Thomas told her, “You’re not going to believe this; I’ve just won $100,000!” “No, you didn’t,” she said. She looked at the ticket but they still called the lottery’s hotline to confirm the winning numbers.
“We were very excited,” Sandy told lottery officials.
The Caldwell County couple hopes to become debt free and help out family with their winnings.
Thomas purchased his winning ticket at Max Fuel #14 in Princeton. The store will receive a bonus of $1,000 for selling the ticket.
