A Merry & Bright Scratch ticket tucked into a Christmas stocking delivered an unexpected gift!

Rylie W. of Grand Junction received her winning Merry & Bright Scratch ticket as part of a Christmas stocking gift. The ticket was purchased at Kum & Go Mav, 10 Stone Quarry Rd in Battlement Mesa, CO and she later confirmed the $1,000 win at City Market. Her first reaction was complete surprise! Rylie works in education, is a new mom, and plans to save some of her winnings and spend a little too. Congratulations, Rylie—a surprise win is a great way to start the New Year!
