LANSING, May 29, 2003 – Sharon Skebo of Sterling Heights is rolling in dough after scratching off a Michigan Lottery “Daddy Morebucks” instant game ticket to reveal a $20,000 top prize!

The lucky lady, who works as an office clerk at Schuchard Elementary School, purchased the winning ticket at Birch Run Amoco #6, 8815 Birch Run Road, in Birch Run.

Skebo, 45, was completely shocked to discover she had a winning ticket.

“I scratched off the ticket and had to double check to make sure it really was a winner,” Skebo said.  “I am very surprised to have a winning ticket.  This kind of thing never happens to me!”

Prior to turning the winning ticket in at the Lottery’s regional office in Sterling Heights, the winner said she kept it hidden in a picture frame to ensure its safety.

Skebo, who enjoys working on craft projects, playing bingo, and bowling in her spare time, said she plans to use part of her winnings to pay bills and will use the remainder to take a vacation.

“Daddy Morebucks” is just one of many Michigan Lottery instant tickets available at more than 9,000 Lottery retailers statewide.
