Breaux Bridge Man Wins $200k on Louisiana Lottery Scratch-Off Ticket Purchased on His Lunch Break

A Breaux Bridge man is $200,000 richer after picking up a few scratch-off tickets during his lunch break.

James Faulk is a Lafayette native who says he was shocked when he scratched off a winning Diamond 10's ticket from a local gas station in Breaux Bridge.

Faulk bought his tickets from the Murphy (#7509) gas station in Breaux Bridge—and while the first ticket he bought was a dud, the second ticket scored him a cool $200k.

According to the Louisiana Lottery website, the Diamond 10's scratch-off ticket costs $10 and the goal is to match any of your numbers to any of the winning numbers to win the prize shown.

We were in the process of financing a house, but now we don’t have to! I’m happy about our new home.
