A Mentone man got a little lucky this week playing the Hoosier Lottery.
According to Brenda Slone, who called the Times-Union Friday afternoon, her son Wendell K. Slone won $150,000 on an Indiana lottery scratch-off ticket Thursday.
Wendell bought the ticket in Bristol and traveled to Indianapolis Friday to pick up his money at the Hoosier Lottery office.
After taxes, Brenda said Wendell's check was for $107,442.55. She also said Wendell was going to give some money to his parents for Christmas, buy a truck and put the rest away in the bank.
On his way back from Indianapolis Friday, Wendell stopped by his parents' home to show off the check.
Later Friday afternoon, the Hoosier Lottery sent a press release confirming Slone's win. The lottery said Slone won playing the Monte Carlo scratch-off game. To buy the Monte Carlo ticket, Slone apparently first won with Island Poker.
Slone is quoted in the press release as saying, "I bought the ticket on my way home from a hard day at work. It was the first time I bought that ticket. But I do usually buy Lottery tickets every morning." [[In-content Ad]]
