    INDIANAPOLIS (WOOD) - A Jenison truck driver said it feels like a weight has been lifted off his shoulders after winning $100,000 in the Hoosier Lottery.

    Charles Szymanski took a routine stop Wednesday at a truck stop, JoJo's Variety Store in Fremont, Ind. He usually buys scratch-off lottery tickets, but decided to upgrade his purchase and buy one for $10. It turned out to be the right decision.

    "Most of my life I've not owed anybody anything, but I haven't saved like I should either," Szymnanski said. "This is all mine and I want to save this."
