“I scanned the ticket on my lunch break,” Larwood said in the release. "I was so excited and wanted to tell Amanda, so I sent her a text.”
“I responded ‘Haha’ because I didn’t believe him,” Fluter recalled.
“I thought he was joking."
Larwood went back to scan the ticket and sent Fluter a photo to confirm.
They both admitted they had a hard time believing what they were seeing.
Larwood and Fluter have some ideas for their winnings.
“We’re going to go on a trip,” Larwood said.
“We haven’t gone anywhere since COVID so we are planning to go to Hawaii next winter.”
