A Kentucky Woman Won the Lottery and Bought Eggs to Prove It

A woman from Chavies, Kentucky walked into lottery headquarters holding a giant check and a carton of eggs. No, really.

🥚 Why It Matters: With grocery costs climbing and retirement feeling like a pipe dream for many, this isn’t just a lucky win—it’s a snapshot of real life meeting real humor, all wrapped in a carton of eggs.

🎰 What Happened: Hazel Morris was playing an online Kentucky Lottery game called Elephant King on March 15. She placed small bets. She hit big.

• The jackpot? $281,651.
• Her payout after taxes? $202,789.

📸 And the Eggs?: Hazel showed up for her photo holding a carton of eggs. She’d recently joked in a meme: “I wouldn’t tell anyone I won the lottery, but there will be signs.” The sign? A fridge full of overpriced eggs.

🌍 The Bigger View: The win doesn’t fix everything. But in a state where many scrape by and groceries feel like luxury items, it’s a rare flash of luck—and a reminder that humor still has a place in hard times.
