Man Nearly Threw Away $5K Scratch and Win Ticket

Tonight, one lucky Orange Walk resident is feeling blessed after he won five thousand dollars on a Scratch and Win ticket. He says he only recently started playing the game and bought this ticket on a whim at Sky City Supermarket while he was passing through Ladyville. Ironically, he says that he nearly threw the ticket away because he didn’t initially realize just how much he’d won. Today he stopped by to tell us how happy he is that he held on to that ticket.

“I actually was going to tour with the ticket because I thought it was a dollar. But when I looked good, I saw five and two zeros. So I said, let’s scratch it more. I thought it was fifty. Then when I saw three more zeros I said, oh wow, I want, thank you,”

“Help my siblings, no, it’s not a lot, but I’ll give them something. And then from there, the other little moneys from my little child.” 1:24

“Of course they should try. They should try. You can win. Try. Perfect. I’ve been trying for a while and I won, so you can.”
