Oct. 9 is definitely a lucky day for an eastern Iowa man. And he says he plans to buy a lottery scratch ticket every year on that date because it's already brought him good luck – twice!
Jeremiah Meewes (pronounced MAY’-vis) of Williamsburg bought what ended up being a $10,000-winning scratch ticket on Oct. 9 of this year. That was exactly one year to the date he’d bought a scratch ticket in 2014 that won a $5,000 prize. And there’s another coincidence in his story: Both prizes came from holiday-themed “Crossword” tickets.
Jeremiah won his $5,000 prize on a ticket in the $5 “Winter Wishes Super Crossword” game that was part of our 2014 line-up of holiday games. He won his $10,000 prize this month in the $10 “Holiday Mega Crossword” game that just hit the market on Oct. 5.
Jeremiah and his wife, Amanda, used some of his winnings from last year to help pay for their wedding. He says they’ll use some of his winnings this time to plan a honeymoon.
How cool is that? Congrats, Jeremiah!
