Two days later he suddenly remembered that he had bought a scratcher ticket and set himself to play it.

When he finally scratched it and revealed a top prize, Mark said, “I was so tired I couldn’t see and I thought, ‘$50,000? That can’t be a winner!’ So I threw it on the seat.” Later that morning, Mark decided to check the ticket again and exclaimed, “That is a winner!” He asked a colleague to verify whether it was a winner or not because he simply couldn’t believe his luck. And surely his ticket was a winner.

With this win Mark will be able to use his winnings to pay off any pending bills and finally be debt free. Besides freeing himself from his debts he would also like to take a cruise to either the Bahamas or Bermuda.
