Mara S – Central Point — 04/21/23
Third Time’s the Charm
Mara S. of Central Point has always had a knack for winning with the Oregon Lottery. As a longtime player, she had already experienced two exciting wins in the past. In 2020, she struck luck with a Scratch-It ticket, pocketing $5,000 on Casino Gold.
On a recent Wednesday evening, Mara found herself in the company of friends at Roy’s Pioneer Club in Central Point, one of her favorite spots. The vibrant neon lights and the allure of a bustling metropolis drew her towards the Big City 5s Diamond Jackpot machine. With a hint of skepticism, she jokingly told her friends, “No one ever wins on this machine.”
However, fortune had different plans! As the reels spun, her disbelief turned into sheer astonishment when five dazzling diamonds lined up perfectly, followed by a winning screen flashing a $10,285 jackpot!
Beaming with joy, Mara and her friend made their way to the Salem prize payment center, eager to claim her windfall.
With her children’s future in mind, Mara has wisely decided to invest the winnings into a college fund — a testament to Mara’s dedication to securing her family’s bright tomorrow.
