Crown Point Resident a Lucky Lady

Susan Tonk's summer was a lucky one. After winning $1,000 and $4,000 on Hoosier Lottery scratch-offs in June and August, Tonk hit a $77,777 top prize on the Wild/Lucky/Super 7s series. Tonk was running errands when she purchased the scratch-off. She found out she won after scratching it in the store. "It was unbelievable! The clerk wanted me to sign the back of the ticket right away," she said. Tonk is very excited about her win, but doesn't have any plans set in stone. "It will make reteirement a lot easier. I imagine I'll help out my kids a little bit, too," she said with a laugh. Click here to see more Hoosier Lottery recent winners.
