When a Kentucky couple decided not to take their vacation, it paid off when they won a $50,000 lottery prize.
A couple from Bullitt County informed Kentucky Lottery officials that they had intended to spend Labor Day weekend at a lake, but ultimately made the decision to return home early.
“I just wanted to watch football,” the spouse stated.
While heading home, the couple made a detour at Kroger on Mud Lane in Louisville and purchased a few scratch-off lottery tickets.
When they got home, they divided the tickets into groups to be scratched.
“He wanted to scratch the 500X ticket, so I just let him have it,” the wife stated.

“I didn’t scratch the prizes ’til the end,” she stated. “When I saw the matching numbers, I said, ‘We got a big ticket!’ I knew we had at least won $1,000.”
In the end, the pair took home a $50,000 award. They stated that the funds would be used to increase their savings and pay bills.
