One man is 30,000 dollars richer after he won big on Scratch and Win. The winner - who is only using his last name of "David" stopped by our studio today and told us that he often plays the game, but this is the first time winning a large sum of money. We asked him what he plans to do with it.
Voice of: David, Scratch & Win Winner
"I purchased the ticket yesterday and scratched it last night and then I found out that I won the jackpot so I guess it was just my luck."
Courtney Menzies:
"How long have you been playing this game?"
Voice of: David, Scratch & Win Winner
"I started playing like early last year or the year before but I took a break until last month I started to buy again everyday."
"I just started to buy everyday from last month till now and like I said, it's my luck to win the jackpot for this specific ticket."
"I felt kind of lucky because every time I purchase a ticket I either get a free ticket or I win something so I just continued. Plus, the game produced a lot of winners so I said maybe this is the best game to play so I played it and it worked out for me."
"It's hard to explain how exactly I felt at the time because I was working at the time so it was during work I was scratching the ticket. Kind of excited but I still had to finish my shift. Came this morning to make sure I really won so it's a good feeling."
Courtney Menzies:
"Do you have any kids?"
Voice of: David, Scratch & Win Winner
"Yes, two."
Courtney Menzies:
"They must be excited for you too."
Voice of: David, Scratch & Win Winner
"They don't know yet."
Courtney Menzies:
"So you're planning to surprise your family?"
Voice of: David, Scratch & Win Winner
"Yeah, something like that."
Courtney Menzies:
"What are your plans for the money?"
Voice of: David, Scratch & Win Winner
"To be honest, I didn't have any plan, I was just playing to see if I would get lucky but I will figure that in the coming days more or less what I will do with the money."
