Richard Ladlee Sr. and his wife, Barbara Ladlee, are all smiles after claiming a $10,000 top prize from a $2 Shamrock Green scratch-off ticket.

For Richard G. Ladlee Sr. of New Orleans, it paid to have a "plan B." The Lottery scratch-off game that Ladlee wanted to purchase wasn't available at his local retailer, so he chose Shamrock Green instead and won a $10,000 top prize.

"It's an unexpected blessing!" Ladlee exclaimed.

Ladlee, age 62, purchased his winning ticket at Spur Discount Corner on South Claiborne Avenue in New Orleans. He plans to use his winning for moving expenses.
