Auburn couple scratch their way to new mobile home

For the Reporter

An Auburn woman is celebrating a $50,000 lottery win after playing the Washington Lottery’s Crossword Extra Play Scratch.

The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased the ticket from the local AM/PM in Auburn, 27 15th St. NE.

The winner told Lottery officials that she and her boyfriend play Scratch often, and this time she let her boyfriend do the scratching on her ticket. When he told her that she had won, she said she didn’t believe him.

The winner plans to use her prize to buy herself a brand new mobile home.
