KY Lottery: In an incredible turn of events, a La Grange woman, Rose Richie, has claimed a $60,000 top prize after purchasing a Kentucky Lottery scratch-off ticket. The fortunate moment happened when Richie stopped at Fast Lane Liquor in La Grange on October 30, where she picked up a $5 Mood Money Scratch-off ticket. To her astonishment, as she began scratching, she revealed winnings on all 15 spots.

“I kept going and saw another $4,000 and another $4,000,” Richie recounted, describing the exhilarating experience. “When I saw the whole board, I knew I hit the $60,000.” The shock of her life brought on so much excitement that Richie said she felt like she was having an anxiety attack, unsure if her eyes were seeing correctly.

Richie immediately called her husband to share the extraordinary news, telling him, “No way, babe, I won $60,000!” While Richie was overwhelmed and nervous, her husband remained calm and collected, reassuring her that he would be home soon to celebrate.

The very next day, Richie made her way to Kentucky Lottery headquarters in Louisville to officially claim her life-changing prize. After taxes, she received a check for $43,200, a substantial sum that she and her family are ready to put to good use.

Richie revealed that she and her husband had recently purchased a new home, so this unexpected windfall comes at a crucial time. “I’ve been praying for a little nest egg,” Richie said. “This will help us stay ahead.”

Meanwhile, Fast Lane Liquor, the retailer that sold the winning ticket, will receive a $600 bonus from the Kentucky Lottery for making the winning moment possible.

This story serves as a reminder that life can change with just a $5 ticket and a bit of luck. For Richie and her family, the win provides a sense of financial security, allowing them to breathe a little easier as they plan for the future.

If you live in Kentucky, remember that fortunes can turn when you least expect them, so keep an eye out for that next big win—it could be yours! And congratulations to Rose Richie for her unforgettable day and the peace of mind her lottery prize will bring to her family.
