Southern Indiana police officer scratches off $150,000 prize

Most people play the lottery hoping to win big, but are shocked and surprised when it happens. That was exactly the case with a Warrick County police officer who scratched off a $150,000 prize on a Hoosier Lottery Jingle Bens Scratch-off Nov. 22. Kevin Day of Newburgh said he checked, double-checked and triple-checked his ticket repeatedly after revealing a $150,000 prize. “I couldn’t believe it,” said Day.  “I looked at it again and again. I even checked it again when I got up this morning to make sure I hadn’t dreamed the whole thing.”  Click here to read more of Kevin's story.
