Winner Stories
Leonard Mintus and his wife like to gamble at casinos and play the lottery for fun and entertainment. After visiting his wife’s home state of Ohio, the couple were headed to Oklahoma for a casino vacation. Late that night, the couple stopped to get gas in Richmond, Ind., and decided to purchase some Hoosier Lottery Scratch-offs.
Leonard scratched each corner of a $30 200X The Cash and knew it was a winner, although he couldn’t tell yet how much he won. He turned to his wife and said, “You’re never going to believe this! I won!”
“Watch it be a dollar,” his wife jokingly replied.
When Leonard finally scratched the prize amount, the couple was shocked to see he won the top prize of $30,000!
After researching how and where to claim their winnings, the couple got back on the road and drove to the Hoosier Lottery’s Prize Payment office in Indianapolis. However, it was still the wee hours of the morning, so they had to wait a few hours for the office to open. Despite having been up for over 24 hours by the time they claimed their prize money, the two were thrilled that their quick stop for gas in Indiana turned into a big win.
