Man Convinces Friend to Buy $75,000 Winning Lottery Ticket!!! 

(Boise, ID) Daniel Dyer is rolling in dough thanks to his friend Bob. At the Jifi Stop in Coeur d’Alene last week, while buying Lottery tickets, Bob convinced his friend to purchase his favorite game in addition to the usual $1 lineup – the $7 Summer Adventure. 

Daniel often buys Lottery tickets, but has never before gone for the $7 ticket. Bob, on the other hand, is a big fan of the fun and exciting $7 tickets. Daniel humored Bob and bought just one Summer Adventure ticket and won $5,000 on the first scratch game of the fold out ticker. Bob, familiar with the ticket, knew that his friend had won big because there is no $5,000 prize -- there had to be more. 

Bob and Daniel drove to the Boise office to cash the ticket together. Both were ecstatic, but there were no plans yet as to what the money would be spent on.
