ADAIRVILLE, Ky. ( WDKY ) — A man vowed to never eat bologna again after he and his son — who lives in Middle Tennessee — won the top prize on a scratch-off lottery ticket earlier this month in Kentucky.
Jody and his father took home a lump sum of $700,000 after hitting the $1 million jackpot on a Casino Nights scratch-off, per the Kentucky Lottery . Jody requested not to share his last name, and his father’s name wasn’t released.
The dad had purchased the $20 ticket on June 8 at the Adairville Market, a convenience store located roughly 12 miles away from Springfield, Tennessee, where Jody lives.

After buying the ticket, Jody’s father couldn’t wait to scratch it.
“I said [to the clerk], ‘If I hit this million dollars, I ain’t ever eating bologna again,’” the dad said.
According to lottery officials, the top $1 million prize was revealed within the first couple of rows, where all three key symbols matched.
