– Father and son strike it rich.
Accident – Death – Obituary News :
A Tennessee man and his father struck it rich earlier this month when they won the top prize of $1 million on a scratch-off lottery ticket in Kentucky. The lucky duo, identified only as Jody and his father, opted for a lump sum payment of $700,000 after hitting the jackpot on a Casino Nights scratch-off, according to the Kentucky Lottery.
The winning ticket was purchased by Jody’s father on June 8 at the Adairville Market, a convenience store located just 12 miles from Springfield, Tennessee, where Jody resides.
After buying the ticket, Jody’s father wasted no time in scratching it off.
“I said to the clerk, ‘If I hit this million dollars, I ain’t ever eating bologna again,'” the ecstatic father exclaimed.
The excitement of winning the top prize was overwhelming for the father, who revealed that all three key symbols for the $1 million jackpot were uncovered within the first few rows of the scratch-off ticket.
Upon discovering their incredible win, Jody’s father immediately called his son to share the life-changing news.
Jody recalled his father’s phone call, saying, “You’ll never believe what I just did.” To which he responded skeptically, “What?” His father then exclaimed, “We just won $1,000,000!”
Still in disbelief, Jody’s father drove to his son’s home to show him the winning ticket, and they made plans to travel to the Kentucky Lottery headquarters on June 10 to claim their prize.
Despite becoming instant millionaires, Jody didn’t let the big win disrupt his weekend plans. He continued with his usual routine, even mowing the lawn.
As for their plans with the money, Jody revealed that they intend to invest it wisely. With their houses and cars already paid off, they are looking forward to becoming debt-free and living a bill-free life in the near future.
Opting for the lump sum payment meant that after taxes, Jody and his father walked away with a check for $504,000, according to lottery officials.
With their financial future secured, the father-son duo can now enjoy the fruits of their unexpected windfall and bid farewell to bologna forever.
Conclusion:
Winning the lottery can truly change lives and open up a world of opportunities. For Jody and his father, the unexpected $1 million win has set them on a path to financial freedom and a debt-free future. As they celebrate their stroke of luck, they can look forward to a life without worries about bills or debts, thanks to their wise decision to invest their winnings. And while bologna may be off the menu for good, the taste of victory is surely much sweeter for this fortunate father-son duo.
