 </figure>Kansas LotteryMaria Sweet of Manhattan used a personal strategy to 
find her $10,000 winning $20 Diamond 7’s ticket. The first step in the 
strategy, of course, was to go buy a Kansas Lottery ticket.“I bought a $30 ticket and won $40, and I decided to keep half and 
use the other half on a $20 ticket,” said Sweet. “I won $50 on that next
 ticket, so I kept $30 and used the remaining winnings to buy one $20 
Diamond 7’s ticket, and that was the big winner!”&nbsp;Sweet says she plays all the time, but she wasn’t prepared for how many winning symbols there were on the ticket.&nbsp;“I just kept scratching and matching, one after another,” said Sweet 
with a laugh. “They just kept coming! After I played the game, then I 
went and scratched the prize amounts on the ticket to see what I had 
won. I was hoping for a couple thousand, but obviously it was way more 
than that!”&nbsp;Sweet said she took the ticket home, but didn’t immediately tell her 
husband, Bob. She instead decided to have a little fun with him.&nbsp;“I asked what he wanted to do that weekend, so we were making plans 
and all that. Then I said ‘Oh and we’re going to have to go to Topeka on
 Monday to claim this big prize I have’ and he just stared at me,” Sweet
 added.&nbsp;The couple said they plan to use their winnings to pay bills and add to their savings.&nbsp;The winning ticket was sold at Dara’s Fast Lane 8 at 8811 East 
Highway 24 in Manhattan. There are still two $177,777 top prizes and one
 $10,000 second top prize left in the <a href="https://kslottery.com/games/instants/?gameid=129">$20 Diamond 7’s instant scratch game</a>.&nbsp;Players are invited to submit all their winning and non-winning tickets in the Kansas Lottery <a href="https://www.kslottery.com/PlayOn/index.html">PlayOn® Players Loyalty</a>
