Mark Hayden drives a truck for a living. While on the road, he likes to buy lottery tickets for entertainment. Mark plays both Scratch-off and Draw games. When he noticed the swelling Mega Millions jackpot, he decided to buy a ticket. After the drawing, Mark scanned his Mega Millions ticket at a Hoosier Lottery retailer, and received a message that said, “Please see retailer.” Mark said to himself, “Oh, I’ve never seen that before” when the message popped up.

Mark was very pleased when he found out that he had won $10,000 by matching five of the numbers drawn. Mark and his wife plan on taking a trip to their favorite vacation destination, Gatlinburg, TN, with a portion of the prize money.
