Jim Allen – Red Payline Bingo Scratch Game

 

Christmas came early for Jim and Tammy Allen when they uncovered the winning spaces on their Red Payline Bingo scratch ticket.

 

“Hit me to make sure I’m still awake,” exclaimed Jim Allen when he was handed his $26,000 winning check.  “I’ve never won anything in my entire life,” said the Kingston resident.

On the morning they had to put their 17 year-old Springer Spaniel Charlie down, Jim and his wife Tammy sent their daughter to the Kingston Kwik store to claim a small prize they’d won playing Naughty or Nice Cashword with the instructions of rolling their winnings into a Powerball ticket and another scratch game. “I know a lot of people who always roll over their winnings, so I thought I’d give it a try,” said Tammy who’s now promised to spoil her “grand-babies” this Christmas. “Let’s go shopping!”

 

Jim and Tammy got the ticket and started scratching. Jim fell asleep on the couch as Tammy checked the winning ticket on-line. She couldn’t believe it, so she continued to check for three more days until the reality of their good fortune sunk in.

 

Exhausted after driving most of the night to reach Boise with their winning game card, the happy couple said they were planning to use the new money to pay off bills on their house. “Right after we find a place to sleep. Can anyone recommend a really nice hotel?”
