Lori and Mark Jesberg, of Victoria, won $100,000 with a "Deal or No Deal" scratch off ticket from the Minnesota State Lottery.

According to a press release, Lori scratched 22 of the 24 briefcases on the ticket before realizing what she stood to win.

“I got down to $10 and $100,000. I thought, ‘I know what it’s going to be,’” she said, expecting to win $10. Jesberg was shocked after revealing the dollar amounts under the remaining briefcases and “it said $10 and left the $100,000!” the press release stated.

According to the release, her husband, Mark, was sitting on the recliner in the living room.

“I came up and double-checked (the ticket),” he said after his wife yelled, “We just won $100,000!”
