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.
