WAYNESBURG 无毛视频� Bob Keller hadn无毛视频檛 intended to buy the Merry and Bright scratch-off lottery ticket that earned him a cool million earlier this month.
During a ceremonial check presentation last week, he shared that he only bought the Merry and Bright scratch-off April 8 because the Giant Eagle on Sugar Run Road didn无毛视频檛 have the one he wanted in stock.
无毛视频淪o I ended up picking this ticket,无毛视频� he said. 无毛视频淭hen I went out to my car. I erased it, and when I erased it, I saw it said $1 million.无毛视频�
无毛视频淚 thought it was a joke,无毛视频� Keller said.
After going back inside to talk to the store无毛视频檚 cashiers, he quickly figured out it was no joke.
无毛视频淭hey said, 无毛视频楴o, you won. It无毛视频檚 real. If you don无毛视频檛 believe me you can check the machine over there and it will tell you,'无毛视频� Keller recalled.
Keller scanned his ticket, and it said, 无毛视频淐ongratulations, you won $1 million.无毛视频�
Mandy Dicken, manager of the Waynesburg Giant Eagle, spoke prior to Keller at the April 27 event at the store.
无毛视频淥n behalf of all of us here, we just are really excited for him and our little community. Not a whole lot happens here,无毛视频� Dicken said.
Keller has worked as a certified nursing assistant for 16 years. He works at Evergreen, a Franklin Township assisted living facility.
For Keller, the $1 million does not mean he will be walking away from his career.
