Debra Weeks of Boise has a good reason to smile. She won $250,000 in the Idaho Lottery’s “Silver & Gold” scratch game.
 

She purchased the ticket at the Albertsons store in Eagle.

At first she thought she’d simply won her money back, $20, but after scratching further her eyes grew larger and her smile wider when she realized exactly what she had won, Lottery officials said.

Debra said she plans on paying off her cabin, buying a new fuel efficient car, putting money away for retirement, and using a little ‘for fun’ money on herself.
