Donald E – Portland — 07/09/25

Extra! Extra!

Stop the presses and start the celebrations! Donald from Portland had never had a lottery win before. He decided to pick up a Stop the Presses Crossword Scratch-it at Stonewalls Market. Upon playing the game, he thought he had scored his very first win of $100. But when he scanned the ticket…?

It was actually $1,000!

Donald humbly stated he would have been happy with a $100 win, but he is still going to enjoy this unexpected surprise. He plans to pay some bills, and then keep a little fun money for himself. And he learned a valuable lesson: always scan your ticket — you might just make the front page!
