"I felt like I wasn't looking at it right; I was in disbelief," Blanton told the Texas Lottery."I stopped scratching midway through to
see if I really won and then when I realized I did, I started hollering
at the lady at the cash register to let her know. I went back to the
house and called all of my children and grandchildren. They thought I
was joking."
Blanton claims to previously have won at least $1,000 on multiple occasions, including $2,300 on one occasion.Blanton's prize was the 23rd
of 40 second-tier prizes worth $1 million to be claimed.
