18-YEAR-OLD WINNER THINKING CARS, FOUR-WHEELERS AND STREET BIKES
January 23, 2012
According to Coty Brooks’ mother, Bobbie Schaver, her son is “an average teenager,” with one exception. While his friends are finishing up their senior years of high school or beginning their first semesters of college, the 18-year-old Clark resident is busy deciding what he’s going to do with $100,000. The first-time Missouri Lottery winner uncovered a top prize on a “20X” Scratchers ticket he bought at Break Time, 1901 N. Highway 763 in Columbia, in mid-January.
When asked what he was thinking after he scratched off the winning ticket, he laughed and said, “I got very nervous, and felt like I was going to faint.”
As for plans for the windfall, Brooks declared that “grandpa is getting a new four-wheeler.”
In addition, he cited a “vehicle obsession” as the motivation for using the prize money to shop for “new cars, four-wheelers and street bikes.”
“It’s exciting,” he added, summing up his Lottery-winning experience.
