Skeptical and shocked winner has big plans out west

Shayla H. won $100,000 on her $5 Extra! Extra! Bonus Crossword Scratch ticket! Shayla is from the small community of Mack, CO, located just 10 miles east of the Colorado-Utah border. Shayla says she likes to play crossword and bingo Scratch games frequently but this is her biggest win ever. 

When she scratched the ticket and thought she had won, she figured it must be a mistake and brought it back to the store to verify. She had to wait until after the Labor Day long weekend to claim and was still skeptical right up until the moment the Claims center staff took her winning photo! She says she is still in shock but has big plans for the winnings. Shayla says she will pay bills, buy a new truck and camper, put a down payment on property, plus share some of her winnings with her kids. Sounds like a good plan to us! Congratulations, Shayla!

Shayla purchased her $5 winning ticket at Maverik, 1103 E. U.S. Highway 50, Fruita.
