A woman from a tiny town in Colorado got a big surprise recently. Joanie lives in Cowdry, which boasts a population of just 27 people. She got a certified letter in the mail saying she won $250 thousand in the lottery and thought it was a hoax.
It turns out she played the 100X The Cash Bonus Draw scratch ticket and had a bonus draw, which she won. Lottery officials say they didn’t have contact info for Joanie, so they sent the letter. They added, "it was supposed to be a surprise that she won."
She chose not to show her face when collecting the money but with the size of the town she lives in she says "Everyone will know!"
