Scott Duvall, who is active military at Mountain Home Air Force Base, had the day off and had planned to go hunting.

As he was getting ready to head out of town, he stopped at Applebee’s for dinner where they were serving free meals for veterans. After dinner, he stopped at a local gas station to get a cup of coffee. He had an extra $10 and decided to buy a scratch ticket. He didn't even scratch the ticket, he just scratched the bar code. The line at the gas station was long so instead of having the cashier check to see if it was a winner, he used the Check-A-Ticket app on his phone.

When he checked the ticket, it said "Claim At Lottery." After realizing it was a big winning ticket, Scott scratched the rest of the ticket to find out that he’d won $100,000!

Scott and his wife showed up at the Idaho Lottery office Wednesday morning. It wasn’t long before the Duvalls and Idaho Lottery employees were getting emotional with Scott’s pride to serve our country and our sincere thanks for all Scott and other veterans do and have done.

Congrats Scott! Don't spend it all in one place!
