Darrow Woman Claims $100,000 Top Prize on new SAINTS Scratch-Off
Published on
Less than a month after the launch of the Louisiana Lottery’s new SAINTS scratch-off, Tracy Logan stepped forward with a golden ticket. The 49-year-old Darrow resident claimed the first $100,000 top prize-winning ticket for the 2014 SAINTS scratch-off. Logan said she is primarily into basketball, but she felt a little more like a Saints fan after winning the prize. She received $70,000 after state and federal taxes were withheld. Logan said she plans to use the money to pay off her car. She purchased her winning ticket at Gonzales Super Stop in Gonzales. The Lottery launched its sixth $5 Saints-branded scratch-off game on Aug. 18. The 2014 SAINTS scratch-off includes three scenes emblazoned in shiny gold metallic ink. The game features three remaining top prizes of $100,000 plus the opportunity to enter nonwinning tickets into a series of four second-chance drawings to win unique game-day prize experiences or official autographed Saints merchandise. The entry deadline for the first of those drawings is Sept. 15. Lottery ticket purchasers must be at least 21 years of age. Scratch-off games are closed when all of the top prizes in a game have been claimed, when all of the tickets in a game have been substantially sold or at the discretion of the Lottery's president. A list of closed games and end-of-redemption dates can be found on this website, http://www.louisianalottery.com/scratch-offs.
