NORTH KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A routine pit stop at a North Kansas City QuikTrip during a lunch break turned into a big win for one man.
The Missouri Lottery said the man purchased a “Fruit Loot” scratchers ticket, and when scratching it off in his car, discovered he had won $50,000.
“I double checked it. I triple checked it!” he told the Missouri Lottery. “I even quadruple checked it, and then I was like, ‘Man! I just won $50,000!’”
He said he called his wife right away about the good news.
“She was shocked,” he told the Missouri Lottery. “It was a very pleasant surprise!”
The winning ticket was purchased at the QuikTrip off Armour Road in North Kansas City.
