Justin Carter plays Scratch'n'Win games every week, but he still couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw that he had won a major prize.
“I bought a couple tickets on my lunch break,” he said. “I went home, ate lunch, and scratched the ticket. I just needed a coconut to get a line, and that’s what I scratched!”
The Loon Lake resident, who likes to scratch his tickets “backwards”, bought his winning Fruit Explosion ticket at Annie’s Store, located at 217 Main Street in Loon Lake.
After he realized that he had won, Carter’s whole day took a turn.
“I went to the store to check my ticket again and make sure I had won,” he said. “Then I decided to take the rest of the day off.”
Carter plans to buy a new vehicle and save some of the money that came from his win. He also plans to buy himself some recording equipment in the near future.
