And finally tonight, one Belize City woman is having an extra special pay day after she scratched a winning ticket.
She stopped by our 7News studios today to show off the winning ticket and tell us how she and her husband celebrated their win, and what they plan to do with the money.
Angelita, Won 50K in Scratch & Win
"Well today started like an ordinary day and it was pay day and so I went out paid some bills and everything and after that I said let me go an invest at least 20 dollars. So, I went to the supermarket Zan Zan and I purchased a $10.00 ticket and two five dollars ticket and I went home, my husband was there already and I sat own and I started to scratch and I scratched the $10 one and I won back $10 then I scratched this one and I just hauled out from my husband and I told him tell me what I won, just please tell me what did I win and then I put it aside and then I scratched the other one and I saw that I won $5 as well so."

"I saw it but I didn't believe it so I just to confirm I told him just look at it and tell me what I won because I still didn't believe it."
"He was excited, we hugged, we hugged for a while and we were just excited we gave thanks and that was it."
"Well the big plan and the main one is a house, a house because I've been renting and paying rent and so I just want my own house that is what I've always wanted."
Cherisse Halsall:
"Now, that you've won, will you continue buying the tickets?"
