$100,000 win gives Valpo woman options

Carol Bukur of Valparaiso says the best thing about winning money is not spending it, but deciding how to spend it.  Bukur just won a $100,000 scratch-off prize from the Hoosier Lottery and summed up the best thing about winning in one word: options. “This gives me options,” said Bukur.  “It’s fun thinking about what I could do.  I could buy a Jacuzzi or take a trip to Europe or whatever I decide. The nice part is having the options.” Bukur says the only thing she plans to do with her winnings right away is buy a smart phone.  She is going to let the rest play out and just have fun deciding what to do with her newly-won cash. “I’m going to keep the good feeling for a while,” said Bukur.
