WILLIAM STEVENS

Game Name: EXTREME CASH Purchased-city: FORT WAYNE Game Won: 10/21/2020 Amount Won: $50,000 First Scratch-off purchase leads to $50,000 top prize win
William Stevens is from Michigan, but recently he has been working in Indiana installing digital menu boards for McDonald’s restaurants across the state. He considers himself a seasoned lottery player in Michigan, and in April he became a first time Hoosier Lottery winner. One morning, William and his son stopped by a Shell station to pick up a few items. While there, he purchased some Scratch-offs. On his first Scratch-off, he won $100. He immediately cashed in his winnings and purchased another $100 in Scratch-offs. Instead of scratching those right away, he tucked them in his pocket and went to dinner with his son.

After dinner, they returned to their hotel room. That’s when William realized he hadn’t played the Scratch-offs, so he set some time aside to play. After he finished playing the $30 Extreme Cash Scratch-off, he was shocked to see the $50,000 top prize revealed! William and his son were both stunned. He called his wife immediately, and she thought he was joking. He happily assured her they had won the top prize.
