LONDON, Ky. —

A Kentucky couple says they plan to give back after winning $1.5 million on a lottery scratch-off ticket.

The couple, from London, Kentucky, won the big prize playing the $20 Wild Cash 200X.

The husband told lottery officials he typically sticks to $10 games but decided to switch it up this time.

“I’m surprised that I even bought that ticket,” he said. “I usually buy it from the counter.”

When he scratched off the first row of numbers, the man thought he was mistaken seeing the No. 21 matched the ticket's top prize of $1.5 million.

After two days, the couple traveled to Louisville to cash in their ticket. They chose the lump sum payment of $1,025,000. They took home $738,000 after taxes

The couple said they plan to pay off their home and car, and consider retirement.
