Carl Spear of Logansport is retired after working for Sears for more than 31 years and working in a factory for another 20 years. These days, he spends his time doing the things he enjoys, like meeting a group of friends for breakfast every Saturday morning and occasionally playing Hoosier Lottery Scratch-offs.

He typically purchases Scratch-offs at his local Clark Gas Station. One day when he scanned a $10 $10,000 Bonus Scratch-off using the Hoosier Lottery app, Carl was surprised to see he won the game’s top prize of $10,000.

Wanting to make sure he really had won, he went to the Clark Gas Station and asked the clerk to scan his ticket. When the clerk confirmed the win, Carl was overjoyed. The friend who was with him excitedly began telling the other customers in the store that Carl was a “big winner.”

When Carl told his immediate family about his win, they were all very shocked but happy for him. Carl plans to use some of his prize money to buy new carpet and will put the rest in savings.
