Lafayette native and Breaux Bridge resident James Faulk could not believe his eyes when he played his
Diamond 10’s
scratch-off ticket
from the Louisiana Lottery,
and it revealed he won $200,000!
“The most I’ve won before this was about $500,” he said.
Faulk purchased his winning ticket and one other scratch-off from Murphy USA #7509 in Breaux Bridge during his lunch break.
He scratched the first
ticket, which was not a winner
, so
he
didn’t get his hopes up when playing the next one
.
“I was shocked!” exclaimed Faulk after the top-prize amount displayed on his second scratch-off ticket.
Faulk
said his
immediate plans for his winnings are to purchase a home.
