Groom gives bride-to-be $250,000 lottery ticket

Nothing says love like giving your future spouse a winning $250,000 lottery ticket.

That's what happened in Ballwin, Mo., where Robert Russell, 33, surprised his future wife, 30-year-old Tracie Rogers, with the "$250,000 Payout" scratcher, purchased at a QuikTrip in St. Louis.

"I thought it was a fake!" Rogers told the Missouri Lottery. "I was just shocked. You always hear about people winning big money on the Lottery, but you never meet anybody."
