A Tennessee woman recently celebrated a fortunate win with the Kentucky Lottery at a perfect moment in her life. Residing in Clarksville, she chose to stay anonymous as she shared her story. After returning from a vacation, she stopped by a Walmart in Oak Grove, Kentucky, just before her granddaughter’s soccer game to purchase some Halloween-themed lottery tickets. The location of Oak Grove, just a stone’s throw from Fort Campbell along the Kentucky and Tennessee border, made it a convenient spot.
“I was just killing time before my granddaughter’s soccer game,” she recounted, explaining how she ended up picking up both a $2 ticket and a $3 ticket, not expecting much from the gamble. While cheering for her granddaughter during the game, she scratched her tickets and was astonished to discover the repeated prize amount of $3,000.
In a life-changing turn of events, she matched all ten $3,000 prizes, resulting in a total check of $21,600 after taxes. The woman expressed her gratitude and remarked that her win “couldn’t have come at a better time,” especially since she moved to Fort Campbell to support her family while her son is on deployment.
With her newfound winnings, she plans to take several trips and donate a portion back to her church in Tennessee, reflecting her intentions to give back. “It’s a blessing, and I want to pay it forward,” she shared, embodying a spirit of generosity that echoes hope and community support in challenging times.
