Campbellsville Man Wins Second Kentucky Lottery Jackpot in Five Months
Braxton Skaggs, a resident of Campbellsville, Kentucky, recently won nearly $58,000 playing the Bluegrass Bucks Hot Hit Jackpots Instant Play game. This remarkable win came just months after he won $30,000 on a different lottery ticket.
Skaggs shared that he hadn't played much since his previous win until his mother won $3,000 playing online. Inspired by her win, he decided to try his luck again. With only $150 left in his account, he wagered $5 and hit the jackpot.
"I was more excited about this one than I was the first one," Skaggs told lottery officials.
He plans to use his winnings to build his first home.
