A Freeland couple won $75,000 from a Scratch ticket sold at the Freeland Payless Food Store.

They opted to remain anonymous after claiming their prize from the Everett regional office of Washington’s Lottery.

According to a press release from Curator Assistant Account Executive Anna Brown, the woman who bought the ticket was ecstatic.

“My husband was in another store,” the woman said, in the release. “I was waiting in the truck and decided to scratch the tickets I purchased. When I saw the winning ticket, I yelled out the window to get his attention.”

The husband and wife plan to use some of the winnings to do something special with family.

“We would love to spoil our grandkids,” she said. “We’re going to buy a new boat to take them fishing and crabbing on Puget Sound.”

Proceeds from Washington’s Lottery benefit the Washington Opportunity Pathways Account, providing grants to college students statewide. To learn more about Washington’s Lottery, its beneficiaries and to review all up-to-date winning numbers, visit www.walottery.com.
