$50,000 lottery ticket was selected by winner’s wife

Feb. 21 (UPI) — A Kentucky man scored a $50,000 lottery prize from a scratch-off ticket that was selected by his wife.

Jeremy Owen told Kentucky Lottery officials he bought the Deluxe Crossword Doubler ticket from Chevron Gas in Bowling Green on the request of his wife.

“She likes the Crossword tickets. I don’t,” Owen said.

Owen’s opinion of the tickets changed when he scratched off a $50,000 prize.

Owen and his wife said they plan to save their prize money.
