Laredo, Texas Player Wins $10,000 Per Month, for Next 20 Years
The most popular scratch games around the nation are Win for Life games.
Who isn’t attracted to the idea of a steady stream of cash coming in the mail every month.
Virtually every state has some kind of scratch game like this. And states like Connecticut, in fact, even have something called Lucky-4-Life where you pick four numbers and a Lucky number to win your steady stream of income.
Now, to Texas, where a man from Laredo recently won $10,000 a month for 20 years playing “The Monthly Bonus.”
Oscar Vasquez of Laredo is the lucky man and his prize will total $2.4 million after the final payment.
Texas officials told me that the top prize won was the second of four to be claimed, so far.
Vasquez said that early one morning, in the last week of May before going out of town, he bought some gas and a Monthly Bonus ticket.
He scratched it while in the parking lot. When he saw the prize he thought he was imagining it.
“I told the clerk in the store that I wasn’t sure if I was awake or asleep, and so I handed her the ticket to check for me,” he said.
“She saw it and said, ‘No sir, you’re awake. And you won..’”
