Mevelyn Cullins re-invested a smaller prize at the right place and at the right time to produce him a $100,000 win. He was extra happy, anyone in his place would be. He had just claimed the Hot Casino Cash top prize and what made him happier is that it all happened because he decided to cash a $30 win on his way from work, he did not even have to use his own money.

This sudden decision to cash in $30 and then use those winnings to buy the Hot Casino Cash scratchers is what made him a winner of $100,000.

“I could have left, but instead I bought a couple more,” recalled Mevelyn, still amazed that he was so close to not have won the prize. Cullins who is an engineer at CB Richard Ellis Management Company scratched the tickets in the store, and immediately revealed the $100,000 win. He was overjoyed and ecstatic and called friends and family immediately, although no one believed him at first. His wife was skeptic and told him that she would have to see the check first. “She even thought the ticket was fake,” Mevelyn said.

The father of three already has plans for his windfall, he would like to make some home improvements, get a car for his wife, vacation in Hawaii and invest the rest. The lucky ticket was purchased at the Dash In, located at 136 E Chesapeake Beach Road in Owings.
