Hoosier Story

Stephanie Hunt

Game Name: $2 Wheel of Fortune Purchased-city: Yorktown Game Won: 8/11/2023 Amount Won: $10,000

Stephanie Hunt has her hands full keeping up with her three-and-half-year-old grandson. But before her day really gets going, she likes to start by playing Hoosier Lottery Scratch-offs and having a cup of coffee.

Stephanie has been playing the Hoosier Lottery for many years, and she’s had some fun doing so. In 2005, she won $100,000 playing a Hoosier Lottery Scratch-off! Though her most recent prize wasn’t quite that amount, she was still thrilled when she won the $2 Wheel of Fortune Scratch-off top prize of $10,000.

Stephanie purchased the Wheel of Fortune Scratch-off because it was a new game and she’s a fan of the TV show. She scratched the ticket at home while drinking her coffee one morning. When she saw that she won, she yelled, “Get my phone!” to her ex-husband, who was there helping care for their grandson. After using the Hoosier Lottery app to scan her ticket to confirm the win, Stephanie began to scream and shout with joy. Joining in was her toddler grandson, though he didn’t understand why.

Stephanie is going to purchase a new bed with her prize money. She can’t wait to get some good rest on a brand-new bed set.
