Some people are lucky and some people are not.  You can try all your life to win big and never win more than $100.  Then someone can walk into a store buy a lottery ticket and win.

Someone went into a store and bought a lottery ticket and won big.  This happens every day however it usually doesn't happen so close to home.

An undisclosed person in Hereford, Texas won $1,000,000 on a scratch-off.

Hmmm, Mom is there something you're not telling me?

This person now has one-million reasons to smile.  Is this the person that always says, "I won't ever tell you I won the lottery, but there will be signs?"  I guess that means if you live in Hereford watch for signs with your friends and family.

Oh, and by the way Mom if you won,  will you pay off my mortgage and my car for Christmas, please?

The winning scratch-off was a $1,000,000 Crossword.   I play Crossword scratch-offs all the time, but I'll be darned if I ever get enough words to win $1 much less $1M, so this person who won, is awesome!   Here's the winning ticket:

This particular ticket was purchased at a Stripes convenience store located at 2901 N. 1st, which is located on the East Side of Hereford.

The $1,000,000 Crossword scratch-off has 8 top prizes, and this Hereford resident was the first to win one of the top prizes. The odds of winning any of the prizes are 3.41.

Congratulations to this Hereford resident.  This person could buy at least 1,666 Herford cows with their winnings.

Again Mom, you can tell me if it was you that won. 

25 Landmarks of Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle

Can You Guess These Towns From Their Satellite Photos?

I'm always down for a good brain challenge. This one however got the best of me.
It's always a fun time looking up address or cities and seeing them from a satellite point of view. You start pointing out landmarks and things you recognize.

One thing you don't account for however is something looking bigger or smaller than you seemed to think it was. So we started grabbing a bunch of these satellite pictures of cities and towns around Amarillo.

As we looked at them, we thought to ourselves, "how fun would this be to actually have to GUESS what these places are?". So away we went.

Go ahead and try to see how many you can guess correctly!
