A Gilbert man, who plays Scratchers almost every day, finally got his wish – he won the top prize on one of his favorite Scratchers games. He purchased two of the
Cool 5’s, and the first one he scratched displayed a $50,000. The ticket was purchased from Circle K, 1995 W. Chandler Blvd., Chandler.
He’s been playing the Lottery for about five years, mostly Scratchers, as he feels they have better odds. He has some simple, common sense advice for players; “Always be sure to recheck your tickets – it’s easy to miss a number or a letter.”
Our winner is a retired businessman, who plans to pay off some bills and save the rest.
