HELENA (AP) — Montana Lottery officials say a Kalispell man and a Billings woman have claimed major prizes.
Alandus Thomas has claimed a $50,000 to prize in the “Super Monopoly” scratch game with a ticket he purchased at Town Pump on West Idaho Street in Kalispell.
Thomas says he hasn’t figured out what he’ll do with his windfall, but says he will pay some bills.
Jessica Urbanski says she plans to use her $30,000 Montana Cash jackpot to help pay off her student loans. She bought her winning ticket for the June 13 drawing at the ConoMart Super Store on Main Street in Billings.
