To Blackwell, a lottery ticket is a waste of money — and the couple didn’t have the money to waste. So she thought up a little plan: How would he feel if she wasted the money on some worthless piece of cardboard for herself? So she took his money and bought a $10 Carolina Millions scratch-off ticket for herself. “I was going to be ugly and buy a scratch off to show him they didn’t hit,” Blackwell told WLOS. Now, for the first time since birth, she doesn’t have to worry about money.
