Dani Krutsinger, 29, from Chariton in Lucas County bought a different lottery ticket to the one she usually buys and ended up winning $50,000! Krutsinger, bought a pair of the new Extreme Cash Blast scratch-off tickets from Casey’s which is located at 1421 Court Ave in Chariton after her favourite game was sold out and unexpectedly, she won the top prize in the game. Barry Ritter, from Charlotte couldn’t be happier after finding out his Cash 5 ticket was valued at $121,323.

Ritter, works at Harris Teeter part-time, and stopped nearby to buy himself a beer and a Powerball ticket from Circle K which is located at Christenbury Parkway in Concord. Whilst in the line of the store, something swayed him to play Cash 5, which isn’t a game he usually plays, but purchased it regardless before leaving it in his car and forgetting about it. Following on, a few days after he remembered it and used his phone to scan the ticket but it wasn’t till he had a look on the website that he saw that he had matched 5 numbers and was shocked. 

Anissa Dellaripa, 22, from South Windsor in Connecticut has just started her graduation life with a $2,000 a month head-start after being gifted a lottery ticket by her Dad. Dellaripa was given the $1 Win for Life Ticket from the Connecticut Lottery and told to scratch it as her Dad handed it over, she explained that he regularly buys her lottery tickets but this time was a reward for all the work she’d put in. She scratched off the ticket, and saw the “WIN FOR LIFE” symbol, at first thinking her dad must have been pranking her because there’s no way it was real! But it was, and she was given the option of either receiving a lump sum of $400,000 or the $2,000 a month for life. 

A lottery pool 11 of people who work together, or previously worked at the Northern Valley Indian Health have come forward to claim a Powerball ticket worth $4,900,000. The winners include: Emilio Montoya, Jack Cook, Janine Cullar, John Cunningham, Deborah Harrington, Karen Hughes, Brandi McFarland, Irma Peralta, Sherron Prosser and Ebelia Villegas, and they’ve all been playing together for over 4 years now – they each chip in $3 a week to buy SuperLotto Plus and Powerball tickets. Cuellar said she sees a glimmer of hope every time she walks past someone with an unscratched lottery ticket as there is always that chance that they have won. This time the ticket was bought by Montoya from Duke’s Cork N Bottle Shop, located at 2360 Esplanade in Chico, they discovered the next day that the ticket matched all the numbers of: 5, 38, 22, 58 and 32 – which were originally randomly generated, but they continued to use those numbers from that period forward. 

Patricia, and Frank Raffa can’t believe the chance they’ve been given to rebuild their lives after finding out they’ve won $325,000 with the North Carolina lottery. Raffa purchased a $1 Cash 5 ticket from the Energy Mart store which is located on long Shoals Road in Arden, and explained how the couple have always used their own numbers over Quick Pick, two of the numbers were 3 and 17 which relates to Patricia’s birthday who was born on St. Patrick’s Day – and you know what they say about the luck of the Irish! First checking the ticket over a coffee, they didn’t realise they’d won – they saw that someone had hit the jackpot, and Frank thought whoever it was, was very lucky, and then it dawned on him that it was them who won! 

Ralph Irby, from Chesapeake in Virginia state was at home, tending to his bad foot when he decided to scratch off the Super Crossword ticket that he had bought from a 7-Eleven located at 1268 Cedar Road. To his surprise, he saw that he had won the top prize of $100,000 and immediately began dancing on one foot – the good foot obviously! Also, Kristen Fritschie, from Hallsville says she plays the lottery every so often as she usually receives tickets as gifts on occasions like her birthday or for Christmas. However, this time – the lottery ticket purchase was her own doing as she purchased a few on impulse for the Double Match scratchers game..

Will Crisp, from Marshall in Missouri was travelling to see the races, when he decided to do a pit-stop at the Pop Shop which is located at 470 N. Miami Ave to grab some drinks. Whilst there, he made the spontaneous decision to buy not one, not two but four Show Me Cash scratch-off tickets – he must have felt that the universe was on his side that day! Crisp didn’t check the tickets then, but stowed them away in his truck and carried on the rest of his journey. It wasn’t until a few days following the trip, that Crisp was in the car with his wife (who was driving) and checked the numbers, that’s when he saw $79,000 flash up on his screen! “I think I just won $79,000” he said, but funnily enough his wife thought he was joking with her until he showed her the screen..

Robert Beck, from Jefferson City has made his wife well up with emotion after FINALLY disclosing to her that they had won a $352,000 prize! Beck, is a big fan of the Show Me Cash game and has developed a habit of calling up the lottery’s hotline in order to check if he’s won anything – however this time, after purchasing a ticket from Stadium Phillips which is located at 66, 718 Stadium Boulevard, they delivered news to him that he was not expecting, that he had won hundreds of thousands of dollars. He was so shocked that he went on his laptop to check they hadn’t messed up, but the matching numbers were in front of his screen: 2, 6, 12, 18 and 22, making him so happy..
