Truck Carrying Lottery Tickets Goes Up In Flames

You can scratch off 70-million-dollars' worth of lottery tickets that went up in flames last week in Florida. The Marion County Sheriff's Office says a tractor-trailer truck hauling 70-million-dollars worth of the 20-dollar tickets caught fire on I-75 in Wildwood on Thursday. A mechanical problem on the truck sparked the fire and no other vehicles were involved. The Lottery hasn't said if some tickets can be salvaged or how it wants to proceed with the scratch-off game.
