JACKSON MAN WINS PICKUP IN SCRATCHERS LOTTERY TICKET

JACKSON -- The clerk at Brown's Market in Cadet knew immediately that David Hunt of Jackson had won something big on a Missouri Lottery Scratchers ticket.

"She said all the color went out of my face and I started trembling," Hunt said, as he described the moment he won a 1995 Eddie Bauer Ford F-150 pickup truck in the lottery's "Trucks-N-Bucks" game.

Hunt bought his winning ticket Wednesday and claimed his prize at the St. Louis office Friday. He plans to sell his Lincoln Continental to make room in his driveway for the new truck.

The lottery will pay Hunt's federal and state withholding taxes on the truck package worth more than $31,000. The lottery also gave him $500 for incidentals.
