This year's birthday came with more than cake for a Salyersville woman, who won $50,000 on a gifted Kentucky Lottery Scratch-off ticket. Brianna Vanhoose, who does not typically play the lottery, won with a $50 lottery ticket gifted to her by her aunt. I bought two tickets, and I scratched one and gave her one for her birthday," her aunt said. Vanhoose discovered she had won after stopping at her mother's house. Her aunt took home a $75 prize, and Vanhoose initially thought she wouldn't win anything. I scratched it, and I saw it and I just took off running, she said.After taxes, Vanhoose took home a sum of $36,000 after visiting Kentucky Lottery headquarters in mid-October. Even then, she had a hard time believing she won. I still dont know what to think, she said. It still doesnt seem real.
