A man from Beausejour has won a big chunk of change.
Scott Hastman won $127,464.20 playing POKER LOTTO ALL-IN.
Hastman says he walked into the Beausejour Guardian Pharmacy on May 26th and saw the man in front of him playing POKER LOTTO ALL-IN. So, he decided to give it a try. Today, he is thankful for that decision.
"At first I thought I had just won a little bit of money," he says. "When I realized it was a lot of money, I couldn't believe it."
ALL-IN is an optional $1 add-on to the POKER LOTTO ticket. ALL-IN has a jackpot that starts at $10,000 and increases until someone wins. Hastman netted his prize by getting a Royal Flush, winning an instant $10,000, plus the $117,464.20 ALL-IN jackpot.
The Beausejour resident says he does not have any specific plans for his windfall but knows the money will go a long way in helping him out.
