In a stroke of luck, Zachary O’Neill, a diesel mechanic from Cumming, Iowa, won the top prize of $300,000 in a scratch game lottery.
After buying a handful of tickets from a convenience store, O’Neill initially thought he had lost all of them.
But when he scratched off his $30 “Premiere” ticket, he couldn't believe what he saw. He plans to buy himself a new vehicle with the money and share some of it with his family.
While gambling can be harmless fun for some, it's important to remember that for others, it can lead to addiction and devastating consequences.
