Kentucky Woman Wins $1 Million Lottery on Ice Cream Run

A Montgomery County woman, who wished to remain anonymous, won $1 million from a Kentucky Lottery scratch-off ticket after a trip to buy ice cream. Instead of getting her Dairy Queen Blizzard, she stopped at a Shell station and purchased a $20 Kentucky Jackpot ticket, revealing a 'Win' symbol in her car. Initially thinking she had won $100, she was shocked to see the total amount, which prompted her to confirm her win with the store clerk. The couple opted for a lump sum payment of $680,000, taking home $489,600 after taxes, and plans to use the winnings to pay off medical bills and become debt-free. The woman had chosen the ticket simply because it felt 'lucky.' Mt. Sterling Shell will receive a $6,800 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
