KENTUCKY, USA — A Kentucky man says he will soon be debt free for the first time in his life after winning the top prize on a scratch-off lottery ticket.
According to the Kentucky Lottery, Charles Stallard, of Valley Station, won $150,000 when he bought a $5 50X The Cash ticket.
“When it came up 50 times, I figured it was going to be $5,” Stallard said. “When I scratched off $3,000, I actually started crying. I couldn’t believe it!”
After taxes, Stallard walked away with $108,000.
“I didn’t get much sleep all weekend,” Stallard said. “For the first time in my life, I’m not in debt. I get to pay my house off.”
He also plans to spend the rest of the year fishing after finally being able to get his boat fixed.
