Iowa man scratches off two lottery winners in one day

DUBUQUE, Iowa -- A 75-year-old Dubuque man has scratched off two winning tickets in one day.

The first was for $930 - and the second was worth $100,000.

The Dubuque Telegraph Herald reports that Ken Broadwell bought both of his Tuesday winners at the same convenience store in Dubuque.

He said Wednesday that he intends to "buy my real estate up at the cemetery and a headstone," and that he is thinking about buying a new vehicle.

News of Broadwell's luck spread fast, the Telegraph Herald reported.

"Oh, I think everybody down in the neighborhood down there knows about it, because I filled up with gas this morning and several people congratulated me," Broadwell said.
