On Tuesday, Justice Prosise, a former Marine and student at Rogue Community College in Grants Pass was walking to his car after class when he noticed something on his windshield.
“Somebody had left a scratch-it ticket underneath the windshield wiper on all of the three cars that were parked in the veteran’s parking lot,” Prosise said.
Scratch after scratch Justice didn’t think too much about the lottery ticket, until he realized he won.
“Ended up making a thousand dollar winning ticket,” he said.
Justice says the money will go towards bills.
“It was a prayer answered so to speak,” he said. “Around the holiday season it’s definitely a stress relieving thing to know that at least one bill is taken care of for a little while.”
Justice says he doesn’t know the person who gifted him the ticket but he says his family is thankful.
“Wish we knew who you were so we could give you a big hug,” Justice said.
With bills paid off, Justice says he can focus on what really matters.
“To be able to spend more time thinking about our family and spending more quality time instead of worrying about paying bills is wonderful,” he said.
