Youngsville Woman Continues Lucky Streak with Lucky Gold Win
Published on
When Adea Nickerson's stepfather told her that 2010 would be a lucky year for her, she never imagined it would mean winning a $10,000 top prize from the Louisiana Lottery's Lucky Gold scratch-off ticket.
"My stepfather told me that this was going to be a good year for me," explained Nickerson, age 31. "First, I found out that I'm expecting, then I celebrated my golden birthday and now, I won $10,000!"Nickerson, who resides in Youngsville, shared that she usually enjoys playing the Lottery's bingo-style games, but she decided to give Lucky Gold a try instead. She purchased her top-prize winning scratch-off at Eddie's One Stop on West Veteran's Memorial Drive in Erath.
Lucky Gold is a $2 scratch-off that offers the chance to win up to 10 times on each ticket. There are two remaining top prizes as of Feb 28.
