“Once it got to me, it was done and mine to keep,” Janes told the Kentucky Lottery. “That’s when everyone was telling me to scratch them off.”.Janes won $50 on the first ticket, exciting in its own right – but nowhere near what she was about to win. She then scratched away at the second ticket which revealed a win on all 15 spots on her “Hit the Jackpot” ticket – which happened to be the game’s $175,000 top prize.
“Everyone was going insane,” Janes recalled. “People were getting their calculators out and double checking. A couple of people even scanned the ticket on the lottery’s app, just to make sure.”Recommended from Editorial
