(KAIR)--An Atchison woman has claimed a top prize on the Kansas Lottery’s 5-dollar Lucky 7’s Tripler ticket.
While waiting for her grandmother to finish treatment in an Overland Park clinic, Jessica Martin decided to visit a small convenience store to grab her usual bunch of lottery tickets.
Her method of buying 16 tickets at a time paid off, as she scored a win of $27,777.
Martin said she couldn’t believe that she had taken the top prize, and that she probably screamed and yelled for a half-hour.
Martin’s family was ecstatic to hear about her win because Martin travels quite a bit—taking her grandmother to Overland Park from Atchison for health treatments.
Martin said – quote – The money is going toward a new car that is safer and more reliable.
The winning ticket was sold at H & R Enterprise Inc. in Overland Park.
