"I couldn’t believe it," Bonilla told lottery officials. "We checked it using the app, and there it was!" The ticket was worth $225,000.
Later they showed up at Kentucky Lottery headquarters to claim the their prize and received a check for $160,875 after taxes. The couple is expecting a baby, and said the winnings will help her be able to stay at home.
The Cave Run Lakemart will receive $2,250 for selling the ticket, lottery officials said.
