Richard Beare 说他自己“很少” 买彩票。 但最近他被诊断出患有 四期肝癌 ,他想不到自己会在这时侯获得25万美元的大奖。
Beare was at a Quik Trip store two weeks ago and decided to buy four scratch-offs while he was there.
两周前在一家Quik Trip商店,他买了四张刮刮乐。
Beare said that his fourth scratch-off was the big winner . He said he noticed the ticket had matching numbers, and asked his wife what that meant.
他说他第四张刮刮乐 中了大奖 。他注意到刮刮乐上的数字与大奖的数字对应,并问他妻子这意味着什么。
"She said it meant I won a price . I told her, 'Well, I guess we just won $250,000 then,'" Beare said. "She was in shock and just kept looking back and forth to me and the ticket."
"I want to travel while I can still enjoy myself," he said. "My wife has always wanted to go to Italy, since that's where her descendants are from. Now I can take her."
