It's a dog's life: 150K winner will spend on luxuries for her pet 'Beau'
/A woman in Arlington, Washington, has big plans to pamper her dog, Beau, with luxuries after winning $150,000 from a lottery ticket.
This unexpected windfall came just in time for her birthday, making it a celebration to remember for her - and her pooch.
She purchased two HIT 5 lottery tickets on the eve of her birthday, opting for the QuickPick option, which randomly selects numbers.
After checking her tickets the following day, she discovered she had won the game's Cashpot prize - normally a challenge to win due to the requirement of matching five out of 42 numbers.
It turned her modest $1 game entry into a substantial sum.
Choosing to remain anonymous, the lucky winner celebrated her fortune by inviting a friend to lunch.
Aside from her plans around a luxurious life for her beloved pet Beau, she intends to use the winnings to pay off bills.
