HUGHESVILLE MAN FOLLOWS IN WIFE’S WINNING FOOTSTEPS
June 2, 2008
(Baltimore) – A quick stop at a local store to appease his wife proved very profitable for a Hughesville man on Sunday. He and his spouse were returning from church and she asked him to take her to pick up a few grocery items along with some Lottery tickets. Although anxious to get home, he agreed to her wishes. An avid Lottery player, she won $50,000 on Bonus Match 5 approximately a year ago. “She wins all the time,” said the man shaking his head.
While waiting for his significant other, the 57-year-old retiree said that he was bored and pointed to the scratch-off display. “Give me one of those,” he said, referring to the $3 Bubble Bucks Tripler scratch-off ticket. That spontaneous purchase was the very first time he ever bought a scratch-off of any kind. “I was just waiting with nothing to do and figured why not.”
He gave it to his wife to scratch. After checking and rechecking the ticket, they were still not convinced of the win. I’m a doubter,” the former policeman said. It wasn’t until the next morning when the $30,000 prize was confirmed by a Lottery official that the father-of-two became excited. “I was so happy. I just saw those big bags of money. Then I was depressed, cause I’ve gotta give it all to my wife,” he said laughing. “She’s going to buy another Gucci bag.”
The winning ticket was purchased at Jimmie’s Corner located at 6270 Brandywine Rd. in Hughesville.
