Campbellsville Man Wins Second Kentucky Lottery Jackpot in Five Months
Braxton Skaggs from Campbellsville, Kentucky, recently won nearly $58,000 playing the Bluegrass Bucks Hot Hit Jackpots Instant Play game. This comes just months after he won $30,000 on another ticket.
Skaggs hadn't played much since his last win until his mother recently won $3,000 playing online. Motivated by her success, and with only $150 left in his account, he wagered $5 and hit the jackpot again.
"I was more excited about this one than I was the first one," Skaggs told lottery officials.
He plans to use the winnings to help build his first home.
