INDIANAPOLIS – Michael McKinsey of Greensburg liked the look of the Hoosier Lottery Scratch-off Ticket Scorching 7′s because it was number 18 in the display case at a local gas station. His son turns two October 18, so he chose that ticket, resulting in a $77,777 win.

“That lady [the clerk] was jumping up and down,” he said. “She said ‘I can’t believe I just sold that winning ticket.”

He purchased the winning Scorching 7′s ticket from BP at 915 Kathy’s Way in Greensburg.

McKinsey, a laborer for Milestone, took the ticket to several stores and friends to confirm that it was a winner.

“We were all just faint,” he said. “We couldn’t believe it.”

McKinsey plans to pay bills and get out of debt with his winnings.

ROANOKE, Ind. (Indiana’s NewsCenter) – Forgetting his glasses paid off in a big way for a Roanoke man.
Bobby Guffey and his wife Janell have claimed a $3 million Hoosier Lotto jackpot.

Guffey says he always plays the same numbers. But on the day he forgot his glasses, he inadvertently marked different numbers on the lotto sheet. The mistake turned out to be a lucky break, though, as the “wrong” numbers were drawn on August 6.

Guffey bought the winning ticket at the Econoasis on US 24 East in Huntington.

Bobby and Janell say they have already set up trust funds for their kids, and they plan to pay off their home and take a trip to Hawaii.
