    Good things can come to those who wait. Just ask Scott H. He won $2 million playing a scratch ticket. The Viroqua resident started to scratch the first few lines of his winning ticket at work. He stopped midway and decided to wait until his wife got home to finish scratching off the ticket. Scott says he doesn't play the Lottery often, but when he does, he likes to buy his tickets locally. The happy couple invested their winnings and plan to take a trip in the future.
