Birthday Jackpot: Man Wins $25,000 on Scratch and Win Ticket

The man recently won $25,000 on a Scratch and Win ticket. He recalled going to a shop with several options and deciding to buy two scratch tickets—one for one dollar and the other for five dollars. As he scratched the five-dollar ticket, he realised he had won a significant amount of money. “When I scratched the bottom number, I saw 25, and I thought, well, it made a good birthday; it’s my birthday today,” he said.

He added, “Well, I said, well, you know, you feel like you’re funny in your body because, you know, you win this big prize.”

When asked what he planned to do with the cash, he mentioned that the first priority would be improving his home. “Well, the first thing is my house because it’s been two years. It will start at my house, but then I’ll have some day labor. But now, that’s the correct time, I figure,” he said, adding that he planned to use the money wisely. He also encouraged others to keep trying their luck, saying, “If you don’t buy, you don’t win. You don’t have hope that way.”

He had been trying to win for the last 3 years.
