01/08/2008 Second Million Dollar Prize of Year Claimed
First "Hoosier" Millionaire for 2008 Year
INDIANAPOLIS William Sallee, 24, of Auburn has been a hard worker all of his life. He's been working two jobs trying to save enough money for a college education. After today, Sallee may be able to relinquish some of his work load since winning $1 million in the form of an annuity payment.
"All of our kids have a great work ethic," said Clarence Sallee, William's father. "But this one here works the hardest."
Sallee and his father claimed $1,000,000 at Hoosier Lottery Headquarters today.
"Everybody that I work with said they were happy that someone who deserved it actually won," said Sallee. "I was at work when I scratched off the ticket. I couldn't believe it and had to ask my boss if I was reading it correctly."
Sallee won the $1 million prize on Scratch-off game Hoosier Millions that literally turned him into a Hoosier Millionaire. He purchased the winning-ticket from Mac Food Mart at 6925 SR 930 E in Fort Wayne.
Sallee plans to pay off some of his debts and achieve his goal of becoming a registered nurse. He hopes to go to Indiana University in the fall and graduate with a R.N. degree.
