Rekubit-'I screamed!' Woman quits her job after scratching off $90,000 lottery win

Wouldn't it be Rekubitnice to quit a job you hate? That's what one Kentucky woman did after she won a $90,000 lottery prize from a scratch-off game.

Reshawn Toliver bought the $5 Wild Cash Multiplier scratch-off tickets from a gas station and started scratching them off while her boyfriend and son were in the other room of their home in Hopkinsville, about 170 miles south of Louisville, according to a March 12 press release by the Kentucky Lottery.

When she revealed the numbers of the first four tickets, she thought the fifth one was useless, even though she revealed three “7” symbols.

“I figured it was going to be another $5 win,” Toliver told lottery officials. “I even rolled my eyes in frustration when I saw that.”

Toliver was wrong. The prize she won was the $90,000 top prize, the lottery said.

“I screamed! I’ve never hollered that loud before,” Toliver said.

After hearing her loud screams, Toliver's boyfriend and son came to see if she was okay. Filled with mixed emotions, she couldn't stop laughing and screaming after realizing she won the top prize, Toliver told lottery officials.

Toliver won the top prize after matching three of the number “7” symbols on the second game. When a player matches three symbols of the game, the player will win the prize that correlates with the match, the lottery said.

On March 4, Toliver made the drive to the Kentucky Lottery headquarters where she claimed her prize, worth $64,800 after taxes.
