Stanhope E.

Stanhope E. of the Washington metro area won a $100,000 top prize playing the Cash Blast scratcher. The retired septuagenarian and DC Scratcher fan says he usually plays the newest instant tickets when he visits his favorite Lottery retailer, but this time he decided upon an earlier game. "I was so surprised, I was shaking with excitement," said the father of three who plans to share his windfall with his family. He said he has just one thing he has to do first, and that's to purchase a new car!
