Humboldt woman wins half-a-million dollars

Nov 3, 2022 | 11:14 AM

Humboldt Resident Marianne Elliot is now $500,000 richer.

She couldn’t believe her eyes when she scratched her $500 grand instant ticket and discovered that she had won the game’s top prize.

“I had to look at it about five times because I was kind of in shock,” she said in a press release sent to northeastNOW.

Elliott was overcome with emotion at her win– and when she called her husband to double-check the ticket he thought something was wrong.

“I told him ‘No, you have to check this. I think it’s $500,000!’”

She said she plans to use her winnings toward renovations and bills while putting the rest away for a rainy day.

Elliott said she purchases tickets occasionally as a treat for herself. She picked up her winning ticket from Thrifty Market at 203 Main St. in Humboldt on Oct. 9.
