TOPEKA, KAN. – Luck has struck again for the Rozar family of Haysville. In 2010, Pam Rozar won a 3i Show Special Edition GMC Canyon Crew Cab ZQ8 Sport truck from the Kansas Lottery in a second-chance drawing. Today, her husband William claimed a $10,000 cash prize playing a $10 Classic Black instant scratch ticket.
“I bought 11 of the Classic Black tickets this morning and won the $10,000 cash prize on the second ticket I scratched,” said William. “I ended up winning a total of $85 on the other tickets, which means of those 11 tickets, I won $10,085. That’s a pretty good return on my money.”
According to Rozar, he purchases instant scratch tickets once or twice a month and always likes playing new games.
“When I see a new game, I always give it a shot,” said William. “When the Classic Black first came out, I had good luck so I kept playing. I’m glad I did!”
After realizing he had won the cash prize, William and Pam made their way to Kansas Lottery headquarters in Topeka to claim their prize.
“I called our kids while we were on our way to Topeka,” said Pam. “When I called our daughter and told her I had a big surprise, she asked, ‘Did you win the Lottery again?’ Everyone thinks we have good luck.”
The Rozars, who have been married 46 years, have two children, six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. They were undecided how they were going to spend their winnings.
“Most likely we’ll spend a little on more lottery tickets,” said William.
The winning ticket was purchased at Diamond Shamrock, located at 115 W. Grand Ave., in Haysville.
