Howard Prichard works during the week, but what he really looks forward to is golf on the weekends with his friends. In his leisure time, he also likes to play Hoosier Lottery Scratch-offs.

Howard prefers to play $5 and $10 Scratch-offs because those prices fit his budget. Once he starts playing a game, that’s the game he sticks with until it’s no longer on the market. However, when Howard’s friend mentioned that he liked the $10 $38,000,000 Spectacular Scratch-off, Howard decided to give it a try. 

Howard enjoys the suspense of playing Scratch-offs slowly. He scratches, looks for matching numbers or symbols and then waits to look at the prize. Howard’s slow play was met with thrilling excitement when he saw he won the $38,000,000 Spectacular $500,000 top prize! 

Howard texted the friend who had encouraged him to play a photo of his winning ticket. 

“No way! Is that real?” his friend replied in disbelief.

Buying a new car and investing the prize money is what Howard plans to do next after his thrilling win.
