LAGRANGE COUNTY FAMILY WINS $100,000
August 1, 2012
A young northeastern Indiana family with two children received a windfall in the form of a Hoosier Lottery prize today. Tonya Wells of Howe presented a Casino Cash Out Scratch-off worth $100,000 to Hoosier Lottery officials in Indianapolis today. Wells was accompanied by her husband, Joe and their two children, Taylor and Mark.
Wells purchased her top prize winning ticket at Family Pantry at 5450 N. State Road 9 in Howe. The Wells family moved to the northwestern Indiana town from Michigan a year ago to take advantage of the school system in LaGrange County.
Wells works as a customer service representative. She has very sensible plans for her winnings. She hopes to pay off their automobiles and student loans.
“It’s a huge relief!” said Wells.
Wells’ two sons have each made requests, which it turns out, are just as sensible as their parents’ plans for the money.
“They want remote control cars,” said Wells.
