Mark Ware has been retired since 2004, but has been working a part-time job for some extra pocket money. He has plenty of extra cash after hitting a top prize of $100,000 on the Hoosier Lottery Scratch-off Double Platinum Payout. "I've been telling everybody 'This is a good one!'" said Ware. Not needing a part-time job anymore, Ware plans to take his current boss out to lunch and say goodbye to working once and for all.
