How Scott Escaped A Speeding Ticket By Using A Lottery Ticket

Winner Scott Lowe with the lotto ticket that got him off a speeding ticket.

A Massachusetts man busted for speeding had a pretty good excuse when he was pulled over.

He had just won a $50,000 lottery prize and was on his way to collect his cash. It turns out Thursday was 22-year-old Scott Lowe's lucky day in more ways than one.

The officer who pulled him over in Hingham issued a verbal warning and urged him to drive safely.

This was where Scott was heading to collect his prize, the Massachusetts State Lottery building in Braintree.

Lowe, of Rockland, told the officer he was speeding because he had won $50,000 on a scratch-off ticket and was on his way to Massachusetts State Lottery headquarters in Braintree to collect his winnings.

He was formally warned by the officer and then told to continue on his way.
