Kentucky Man's $5 Lottery Scratch-Off Turns Into $50,000 Early Birthday Present

A routine visit to a local convenience store turned into an unforgettable experience for a Kentucky man, Robert Fisher, when he purchased a $5 scratch-off lottery ticket. As he stood inside the Prayosha Food Mart on Old Lebanon Road in Campbellsville, Fisher scratched off the ticket and couldn't believe his eyes.

After checking it multiple times, Fisher exclaimed, "That can't be right! My heart skipped about two beats." Filled with excitement, he wasted no time and headed to a nearby Walmart store, where a friend worked as a clerk. Placing the winning ticket on the counter, Fisher asked his friend to cash it, unable to contain his laughter. 

When his friend returned, she was astounded and exclaimed, "Good lord, where did you get that at?"

To confirm the validity of his win, Fisher called his daughter, who then asked his grandson to accompany his grandfather to the lottery headquarters. The grandson initially thought it was a prank call due to his mother's history of playing pranks, but soon realized that this was indeed a genuine win.

While Fisher hasn't disclosed his specific plans for the $50,000 prize, he eagerly considers it an early birthday present, as his birthday is just a month away.
