“I scratch them off and then I said, ‘ooh, I got a winner’ but I didn’t scratch the amount,” she said. “When I scratch the amount, I see a one.”
She told the Ohio Lottery she thought she won $10, but soon realized she won a lot more.
“I said, ‘$150,000!’ I got the magnifying glass. This says $150,000. I said, ‘I don’t believe it.”
