Edith Morales likes to play the $3 Wild Cherry Crossword Tripler Scratch-off. She used to buy her tickets at the same store because she knew all the employees there, but when she recently moved to Beech Grove, Edith found the drive to that store was just too far. Fortunately, the owners opened another location in Beech Grove, and Edith decided to check out their new space.

While there, she bought a $3 Wild Cherry Crossword Tripler and waited until she had left the store to start scratching it. “At first, I couldn’t tell whether I won,” said Edith. “I had never gotten that many words on a ticket, but none of them had the cherry symbol, so I wasn’t sure if I actually won something.”

She took the ticket back into the store so the clerk could scan it. When they told Edith she would need to go to the Hoosier Lottery’s Prize Payment office to claim her prize, Edith was speechless. “I had no words. I was so stunned,” she said. Edith studied the ticket and saw that she won the game’s top prize of $50,000.

Her shock quickly turned to joy and excitement. When she told her sister and family, they were very happy for her.

Edith plans to use her winnings to pay some bills, help a couple of family members and get herself a car and her own place to live.
