Red Hot Luck for Ragley Woman

Robyn Pitre of Ragley had a reason to smile after she claimed a $10,000 top prize from the Louisiana Lottery's Red Hot Bucks scratch-off game. 

"I decided to purchase Red Hot Bucks because I liked the reindeer on the ticket," explained Pitre, age 30.

Pitre purchased her winning scratch-off from First Stop #3 on Highway 171 North in Lake Charles. 

She plans to use her winnings to purchase Christmas presents.  "I would like to have a very merry Christmas, since I won on Thanksgiving Day," shared Pitre.

Red Hot Bucks is a $2 game that features the chance to win 10 times on each ticket. The game has two $10,000 top prizes remaining as of today.
