Shoreline Widow Wins $500,000 On Scratch Ticket

SHORELINE, WA - A local woman recently won a major lottery prize, her second big win since 2015.

The anonymous woman won $500,000 playing an "Ultimate Riches" scratch ticket she bought at the Shoreline Fred Meyer. In 2015, she won $50,000 playing the lottery.

The woman plans to spend the money on travel for her family. She's sending her sister and mother on a trip to New York City, and will send her son to see baseball games at stadiums around the country.

The woman, who lost her husband in 2010, will buy herself a new house.

"Winning once was lucky. Twice is surreal. I want to be generous with friends and family. I’m planning to send my mom and my sister on a big trip to New York, and I want to take my son to see baseball games in different stadiums across the country," she said, according to Washington's Lottery.
