"I brought the ticket home and quickly scratched it,"  explained Broussard, age 45.  "I originally thought that I had won $100, and I was excited about that.  Then I scratched the entire ticket and saw that my prize was $100,000!  I just started screaming."

Broussard, who was home with her children that night, said she tries all the different games offered by the Lottery but especially likes the scratch-offs.  She purchased her winning ticket at Mel-Star Inc. on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Morgan City.
