"My wife told me to go to Safeway and get them," he said. "And of course, I got caught behind people with tons of stuff in their baskets. So, while I waited I bought a Scratch-it."
Clark chose a $20 Winter Ca$h scratch-off ticket and discovered while sitting in his truck that he had won the top prize: $25,000 for 10 years.
The winner chose to take his prize as a $175,000 lump sum instead of the $25,000 annual payments.
"We are pretty simple people and we are going to be smart with the money," Clark said. "We had a bunch of home remodeling planned, and this money will go toward that. I think the first thing we are going to do is a kitchen remodel, then we will invest some of the prize."
