(Clive) A Walnut woman won $30,000 on a scratch ticket she received from her husband as a Christmas gift.
April Miller, 43, won the big prize in the Iowa Lottery’s “Merry Money” scratch game. Her husband, Rory, purchased the ticket at Kum & Go in Walnut and slipped it into his wife’s stocking.
Miller scratched the ticket following her family’s Christmas celebration, and quickly scanned it with the Iowa Lottery mobile app to confirm her win.
Miller said she plans to put her winnings toward home improvements, a new purse and a tropical vacation.
Merry Money was a $3 scratch game with a holiday theme. It began sales in October and ended this month after the conclusion of the holiday season.
