Nelson’s Wayne Boyd had his life flipped upside down with some spare change he found in his pocket after winning $100,000 from a scratch ticket.
Boyd had just woken up from a nap when he realized he had some extra coins in his pocket, so he went for a walk to Wings Grocery on Baker Street and purchased the winning ticket.
“I checked the ticket about seven times and then realized I had an X,” Boyd said. “I couldn’t believe it. I was in shock that I won!”
