Tawana Butts loves playing the Hoosier Lottery and picks up tickets every week. On a quick stop at the gas station for snacks, she spotted a Scratch-off she had never seen before—$5 10 Years of Cash. On a whim, she grabbed two.  

After scratching the tickets, Tawana didn’t realize right away that she won the game’s top prize of $5,000 a month for 10 years. When it finally sank in, she called her son, who could hardly believe it!

A school cook with a big heart, Tawana now hopes to take a vacation somewhere warm and step back from work to care for her husband.
