A Kentucky couple’s schedule mix-up led to a $125,000 lottery win. The couple had planned to get their tires changed, but the shop said they weren’t on the schedule. It turned out the wife had the wrong date.

The couple decided to make the most of their unexpected free time and visited a nearby Walmart, where they purchased lottery tickets from a vending machine. The husband bought a $5 Queen of Hearts ticket and a $5 King of Spades ticket.

The Queen of Hearts ticket ended up being the winning ticket, with a prize of $125,000. The couple was shocked and excited by their win, with the wife saying, ‘I saw the red heart and thought, “Wait… I need to read the instructions again.” Then I scratched the amount, and I started freaking out. I said, “There’s no way. This is not real life.”’

The couple plans to use the money to buy a house and two new cars for their family. The Walmart in Barbourville, where they bought the winning ticket, will receive $1,250.
