Traveling Nurse Wins $10,000 While Passing Through Orange

Written by CT Lottery staff

ORANGE, CT — Elizabeth Robertson, a traveling nurse from Lake Charles, LA, was passing through Connecticut with her husband last week when they got off the parkway to get a cup of coffee and a "30X Cash 9th Edition" scratch ticket, according to the CT Lottery.

"I was scratching my ticket while my husband was driving and said, 'Bae, I think I won!' as told to the Connecticut Lottery staff.

Just to be sure, they made a stop at another retailer to scan the ticket and check the total amount of the prize. It was a cool $10,000.

"This is the highest ticket I ever won on, and it came at just the right time. We're in the process of buying a house, so this will go right toward the down payment," she told the CT Lottery staff.

The winning ticket was sold at Alltown Orange S #829 on Feb. 28.
