A preschool teacher in Washington known only as 'J.C.' won $200,000 in a scratch-off game earlier in May, just days after 'Teacher Appreciation Week.'
Each year, "Teacher Appreciation Week" is observed during the month of May — and for one preschool teacher in Washington state, her "appreciation" came in the form of some good luck from the universe. A resident of Edmonds, Washington identified only as "J.C." stopped at a Safeway grocery store on May 11 to get coffee with her mother before a day of running errands, Washington's Lottery said in a May 31 press release. Edmonds is north of Seattle.
While at the store, J.C. bought a scratch-off lottery ticket at a vending machine, using $10 she'd won from another scratch-off ticket. J.C. then put the ticket for the "$200,000 Cash Stacks" scratch-off game in her purse, temporarily forgetting about it. Later that night, J.C. was watching TV when she remembered she had not yet scratched off the lottery ticket she purchased, said Washington's Lottery.
With her big win, J.C. told Washington's Lottery that she plans on buying herself a new car and traveling to Ireland, a place she's always wanted to visit. The $200,000 Cash Stacks game has one remaining $200,000 prize, said Washington's Lottery's website. Hundreds of thousands of other prizes, ranging from $10 to $500, are also up for grabs.
The overall odds of winning any sort of prize in the game are 1 in 3.43, said Washington's Lottery.
