Tony Augustyniak purchased the scratch-off ticket and forgot all about it for a week. Him and his wife decided to scratch the coding off on Thursday, the 30th of September, and to their surprise they won one heck of a prize. The ticket was purchased at Tiny Town Market on 10723 Hoagland Road, in Hoagland Indiana, and that is where Tony received the very first of 30 annual installments of $133,221 after taxes.
The Hoosier Lottery recently launched the $100 million Cash Extravaganza scratch-off game, where a total of 3 people will each walk away with a $5 million grand prize when all is said and done. The Augustyniak family plans on buying a new home with their winnings along with a much needed dishwasher. The rest will likely go to their children and grandchildren.
Tony stated, “I’ve worked my butt off all my life,” he said. “I never thought anything like this would happen to us. We’re common people.”
