Two Powerball® tickets with Power Play and Double Play® is how Elizabeth Fuquay of Camby plays the Hoosier Lottery.
“I know how much I’m spending, and I don’t go over,” she says.
Elizabeth and her husband were out running errands when she asked him to stop at a gas station and buy her usual Powerball tickets.
The next morning, Elizabeth was getting ready to drive to Kentucky to visit family when she spotted her tickets on the table and used the Hoosier Lottery app to scan them before leaving. Elizabeth was flooded with adrenaline when she saw that her prize amount was too large to cash at a retailer.
“I thought someone in the family had died the way she was staring at her phone,” her husband said.
They went to the nearest gas station to find out how much Elizabeth won. Unfortunately, the retailer couldn’t tell them more than the Hoosier Lottery app had. Elizabeth then called her sister in Kentucky to tell her that’d they’d be late and why. Elizabeth’s sister looked up the numbers and told her she’d won $200,000!
Elizabeth and her husband are elated about their win. They each got out their wish lists and plan to do some shopping with the prize money. Elizabeth wants to buy a pair of Jordans and a designer purse, while her husband will outfit his Jeep Gladiator with a few accessories. They also plan to take a family vacation with their son and invest the rest.
