World’s Luckiest Truck Driver
03/14/09 - Unbelievable
“It’s probably not a tactic economic advisors advocate but one woman who lost her job as a truck operator gambled for four consecutive days, winning again and again until she won her biggest prize — a Colorado Lottery jackpot worth $50,000. Cathy Ortiz said it was one of the luckiest weeks of her life. On Sunday, she won $1,260 playing slots in Black Hawk. A day later, she won $500 on the Colorado Lottery’s Free Ride Scratch game. The next day, while cashing in her winning ticket, she bought 10 more Free Ride tickets as well as a few Lotto and Powerball tickets. On Thursday morning, Ortiz realized that one of those Powerball tickets was worth $50,000.” w/ photos
