TOPEKA, KAN. –Some say, you should always listen to your instincts, which is exactly what Rebecca Cole did yesterday afternoon when she purchased a $5 Monopoly instant scratch ticket. The Haysville resident had a feeling it would be a big winner and it was! Cole revealed a $20,000 top prize playing the game.

“My husband James bought a ticket and I had a feeling the next ticket would be a big winner, so I went ahead and bought it,” explained Cole. “When I saw that it was worth $20,000 I thought, no way. I must be reading this wrong.”

After carefully looking over the ticket, Cole and her husband went back to the convenience store to have a clerk verify their win.

“The clerk scanned the ticket, then looked at me and said, ‘Merry Christmas. You won $20,000,’” said Cole. “I put the ticket in my purse until today. We have destructive dogs and I didn’t want them chewing it up.”

According to the Coles, they play lottery games at least once a week.

“We buy nothing less than $5 games,” said James Cole. “On occasion, Rebecca will buy $2 Bonus Crosswords. We have won $100 several times on the higher priced tickets.”

The Haysville residents, who have been married five years, plan to pay off a car loan with their winnings and save the rest.

The winning ticket was purchased at Diamond Shamrock, located at 115 W. Grand Ave. in Haysville.

The Hydraulic street bridge over the big ditch is now open.
