Southside stores sell winning tickets
John Heck of Indianapolis always dreamed of finding the time and the money to race. The self-employed automotive repair shop owner loves to work on cars and now thanks to the Hoosier Lottery, will be able to race a few cars himself.
“It’s time to go racing hard!” said Heck.
“I held the ticket up to the window and had to ask the clerk, ‘Is this what I think it is?’” said Heck. It was, so he immediately came to Hoosier Lottery Headquarters to claim his prize.
The Marion County resident plans to race and possibly purchase a new home.
Roger Willard of Indianapolis matched all five numbers: 6, 7, 12, 19 and 26 on a Hoosier Lottery Lucky 5 ticket Saturday evening for a win of $50,000.
“I almost had a heart attack!” said Willard.
Willard purchased his winning Lucky 5 ticket from Buck’s IGA at 3015 South Meridian St. in Indianapolis.
“Yeah, it’s a good place to buy tickets,” said Willard. “I didn’t believe it, so I took it back to the store.”
Willard may eventually plan to buy something. “Right now, I’m just enjoying retirement,” said Willard.
