The Hoosier Lotto ticket ended up being worth $3 million."My wife says it pays to be blind," Guffey said Thursday after he accepted his winnings at the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis.
Guffey, who's from the northeastern Indiana town of Roanoke, said he didn't realize he'd used the wrong number combination until he had left the Huntington service station where he bought it.
He went back inside to buy a ticket with his usual numbers and that ticket won him $1,000 to go along with the jackpot.
Guffey said he has been playing the Hoosier Lotto since it started in 1989. He said he's won about $5,000 on various tickets over the years.
His wife, Janell, said they are going to pay off their house, take a cruise to Hawaii next year and set up a trust fund for their five children and 10 grandchildren."Christmas will be a lot nicer,"... | |

For heaven's sake, Gabriel is only 5 years old!!
Woodward should be ashamed of herself and I pray she doesn't have children of her own...if ever someone deserved to NOT have children this is it!
Kristen Woodward is anything and everything but a teacher--to publically, (in front of his classmates) humiliate, belittle, and ask the class..."So you guys think, is that somebody you want to be with? And in unison, students replied, Noooo... How truly sad is this.

Dave Bursten said.The crash in Bedford, about 20 miles south of Bloomington, killed Eric Johnson, 47, of Bedford, and his daughter Emily, Bursten said.Emily did not go to school Monday, and Johnson's ex-wife, Beth Johnson, went to Bedford police headquarters about 11:30 a.m. to say she believed he might have abducted the girl, Bursten said.That was about 45 minutes after the Cessna crashed into the residence of Eric Johnson's former mother-in-law, Vivian Pace, Bursten said."It is just gut-wrenching to think about what was happening to that child just prior to the crash," Bursten said Monday night at a news conference in Indianapolis.Father and daughter had been on a trip together, but Beth Johnson expected the girl to be in school by Monday morning, Bursten said."She had a feeling this morning something was wrong,"... | |
