An engaged bride-to-be from Ballwin, Missouri, says she’ll use most of her $250,000 winnings to pay off the mortgage on her home instead of planning an extravagant wedding. Tracie Rogers, 29, says Robert Russell, her fiancé of 9 1/2 years, recently bought her a scratch-off lottery ticket. She won $5. Russell bought her a second ticket and threw in another five bucks for a $10 scratch-off. That turned out to be a lucky decision. Tracie won $250,000! She says the windfall couldn’t have come at a better time. She’s unemployed and Russell was laid off last year. The couple canceled a previous wedding date because of financial trouble. The couple has been together for 12 years and shares a home with five pets.
