Anthony Hart, a 21-year-old psychology major, stopped
in at a Sheetz
gas station in Chantilly, Va. for a magazine and a Slurpee and instead left
with
a winning lottery ticket.
Hartäs winning ticket, a scratch-off ÜWin for Life¯ ticket, will
provide him with $1,000 a week for the rest of his life, paid every three
months
in lump sums of $13,000. There is no maximum or cap off point for Hartäs
prize.
Hart had initially purchased two tickets and lost. He then purchased a third
ticket, from which he won seven dollars. Hart used part of that winning to
purchase the five dollar ÜWin for
Life¯
ticket.
The ÜWin for Life¯ scratch game had six tickets in which $1,000 could
be won every week for life. Hart was one of the last to win that prize. There
are several other prizes varying from $500 to $5. The game was launched in
August 2002 and will end in June.
Hart and his family had initial disbelief about his winnings. His
father encouraged him to stay calm and not get overly excited until the
ticket was verified as a winner, which it was just days after it was
purchased.
Hart was presented with his first check in an awards ceremony. Hart
said, ÜOnce
we had it, it was just like big smiles.¯
Hart plans to use the money to purchase a second car. He is also
planning to invest his winnings and is considering starting his own business
after graduation.
