MORGAN CITY RESIDENT RINGS IN THE NEW YEAR WITH $100,000 TOP PRIZE FROM SLOTS OF MONEY SCRATCH-OFF
January 12, 2009
Melissa Broussard of Morgan City rung in the new year $100,000 richer. On New Year's Eve, she claimed a $100,000 top prize from a Slots of Money scratch-off ticket at Louisiana Lottery Corporation's headquarters in Baton Rouge.
"I brought the ticket home and quickly scratched it," explained Broussard, age 45. "I originally thought that I had won $100, and I was excited about that. Then I scratched the entire ticket and saw that my prize was $100,000! I just started screaming."
Broussard, who was home with her children that night, said she tries all the different games offered by the Lottery but especially likes the scratch-offs. She purchased her winning ticket at Mel-Star Inc. on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Morgan City.
Broussard said she plans to fulfill a dream with her winnings. "Since the day we were married, my husband and I had planned to buy a house. Unfortunately he passed away before that came to be, so now I'll purchase a small house that is near his resting place."
Slots of Money is a $5 game that offers a chance to win up to 15 times on each ticket. The game has one $100,000 top prize remaining as of Jan. 5.
