An old saying goes “good things come to those who wait” especially letters sent or received. Below are two lottery winners who will get to have a fortune for the rest of their lives.
During the N.H. Fisher Cats baseball game, a Charlestown resident left the Northeast Delta Dental Stadium much richer. Thomas French was the top prize winner of $500 a week for life lottery.
The retired construction worker was one of eleven that were invited to the stadium. The finalists were given an envelope and were told to open them, each revealing the prizes they won.
Thomas French said “I was very surprised; it’s going to help out a lot. Figure I might travel a little bit; get some things I might enjoy. … I’m going to do a little bit of everything.”
Thomas French won $500 a week for lifeThomas’s ticket was “a losing ticket” and like many lottery players they wrote contact details, sending their lost scratch-card tickets in time for a second chance drawing.
The Charlestown man said “I mail them in quite often. This is the first time I’ve ever been picked for a second chance.” He continues to add “I felt like I had a little luck on my side because I was part of the final drawing, but I never expected this to happen.”
The winner has the option of walking home with $500 a week for the next 25 years which is equivalent to $ 650,000 or to accept a lump sum of $250,000 cash payout.
Thomas said that he did not cash his prize yet and is excited what the future holds for him with endless possibilities to enjoy his retirement. He has considered taking a trip to Alaska, investing in a bigger truck and trailer.
When asked if French has any tips of winning a scratch ticket, he sais “It’s all a matter of luck. There’s no secret, we do it for fun.”
