38-year reader hits Scratch
November 24, 2005
Jose Perez, 55, began reading the Daily News in 1967. He had just moved to New York City from Puerto Rico, and his uncle offered him this piece of advice: "If you want to learn English, you have to start reading the papers." And thus began Perez's love affair with The News.
Perez buys The News every day at his local store.
"I love the sports section and crosswords, and I always play Scratch n' Match," said the die-hard Yankees fan. On Nov. 14, Perez scratched his Week 9 game card and won $100 in New York City's biggest newspaper game.
Perez told his wife, Lydia, about winning, then headed to the Daily News Validation Center the first chance he got.
"This money is going straight into the bank," said the father of three. "My son Ricardo is a high school senior, and we've been putting away as much money as we can for when he goes off to college. He wants to go to school in Boston."
This Sunday, the Scratch n' Match Power Jackpot increases to $200,000, so get your green Week 11 game card in this Sunday's News.
Readers may submit prize claims by mailing card(s) with a photocopy of proper identification to: Scratch n' Match Claims, c/o Game & Contest Services, 8300 Douglas Ave., Suite 602, Dallas, Tex. 75225, or they can validate the claim in person at the Daily News Validation Center, W. 31st St. (Bay 19), between Ninth and 10th Aves. in Manhattan.
