A five-dollar scratch off lotto ticket has made a Whiting man 150-thousand dollars richer. The Times reports Ralph Maginot won on Sunday, after purchasing the Cashta$tic ticket at the Luke Gas Station, on the 35-hundredth block of Sheffield Avenue in Hammond, and that he reportedly does not have any big plans for the money. Published reports say big tickets sold were the first winning Cash 5 ticket on Thursday night, sold from a gas station in Merrillville, and that a store in Gary sold a winning ten-point five million dollar Hoosier Lotto ticket from Saturday's drawing.
