Lee Patula lives in the tiny town of Boswell, about 30 miles northwest of Lafayette. Most of her days are spent in an ambulance helping save lives as an emergency medical technician (EMT). As a way to relax and add a little fun to her day, she likes to play Hoosier Lottery Scratch-offs.

Lee’s favorites are the $1 Scratch-offs, so when the $1 Peppermint Payout debuted along with a few other Holiday-themed games, Lee bought several. As a myLOTTERY member, Lee knew there was a 2nd chance promotion for Holiday Scratch-offs, so she held onto her non-winning tickets and then entered them in the drawing.

As Lee was checking her email one morning, she saw a message stating she was the Grand Prize Winner of the Holiday 2nd Chance Promotion and had just won $10,000!

“I couldn’t believe it,” she said.

Given that Lee has chosen a career in which she helps others, it’s no surprise that she plans to use her winnings to help her niece, who just had a baby.

$1 Peppermint Payout Estimated Overall Odds: 1 in 4.64
