A little encouragement from her husband led Patricia Battle of Nashville to a $150,000 scratch-off win.
“He always tells me, “You’re going to hit the big one baby,’” she said. “He told me yesterday too before I got the ticket.”
Battle bought her $5 Super Loteria ticket from EZ Stop on East Washington Street in Nashville.
“Something just told me to get that ticket,” she recalled.
Battle could barely control her excitement after she found out how much she won.
“I was so nervous I couldn’t even drive home,” Battle laughed.
She collected her prize at lottery headquarters Thursday and, after required tax withholdings, took home $107,626.
The Super Loteria game debuted in July with six $150,000 top prizes. Three $150,000 prizes remain to be claimed.
Nash County received $50 million in grants with money raised by the lottery to build new schools. For details on other ways money from the lottery made a difference for education programs in Nash County, visit www.nclottery.com and click on the “Impact” section.
