Team effort lands Dillsboro couple $150,000

A Dillsboro man and his wife are the latest Hoosiers to win big money in the Hoosier Lottery. John and Lisa Sladeck claimed a $150,000 prize at Hoosier Lottery Headquarters this afternoon after scratching off a top prize on the Cash Multiplier X10 Scratch-off game. John Sladeck is a retired teacher and Lisa works as an event planner. The couple said their one indulgence is the Hoosier Lottery.  They enjoy sitting down together to play Scratch-offs.  “We play as a team,” said John Saldeck.  “We like to stay home. We don’t go out or spend a lot of money.  This is our big pastime.  We enjoy it.” John purchased their lucky ticket at J&J Liquors at 13195 Bank Street in Dillsboro. It’s the same place he buys most of their tickets – and the same place he bought a Lucky 5 ticket that won him $50,000 in 2008. “We almost always buy our tickets there,” said John Sladeck.  “And we certainly will from now on!”  Read more about John and Lisa's story here.
