When Byron Lemoine walked into Tobacco Zone on Plank Road, the store associates were placing a new pack of Bonus Buck$ scratch-offs into the dispenser. Instead of asking for just one ticket, he asked the associate to give him the first two tickets from the pack, which was the best decision he could have made because it was the second ticket that was a $200,000 top-prize winner!
Byron and his wife claimed his prize at Lottery headquarters on Friday, September 26. He plans to use his winnings to pay off debt and wants to remain humble despite the huge win.
“I don’t want to look like a redneck that just came into a windfall!” he commented.
Though Byron sometimes plays draw games, he mostly plays scratch-offs. He’s won $1,000 on two different tickets before getting this big win. Congratulations, Byron!
