A fortunate resident from Dixon wins $50,000 recently in scratch off lottery

An extra trip back to the gas station turned into a $50,000 Kentucky lottery win for a man in Dixon. 

Larry Duncan said he doesn’t normally play the lottery, but something told him to purchase a $50 Millionaire Club Scratch-off, the newest $50 KY Lottery ticket.

Duncan told lottery officials that his mother had just passed away a week prior. Duncan had family in town visiting for the service and decided to stop at the Dixon Marathon to purchase a few tickets.

“I don’t want to sound crazy, but I was saying, ‘Mama, you’re going to lead me to a winner,’” Duncan said. He said he initially won $55, and then headed back home to be with his family.

The following day, while food was being prepared, Duncan said a key ingredient in a special pecan dessert dip was missing and so, he headed back to the Dixon Marathon to purchase it.

“I thought, we need some graham crackers,” Duncan said. “I’m going to run up there and get a ticket, too! I was still talking to my mama, and I said, ‘Mama, help me out.’”
