Parents Discover They're Set to Become Grandparents on Scratch Card

A mom who has always celebrated each holiday with a handful of scratch-off tickets won the ultimate jackpot when she scratched off a card that revealed she is set to become a grandmother. Lori McDermott, 49, always used to celebrate majors in this way, but when she was presented with a scratch-off on her daughter Bree Harris’ birthday, she had no idea what was coming next. Bree, 32, from Nashville, Tennessee, had received the news that she and her husband Tucker, 29, were expecting their first child, and so she started to think of the perfect way to tell her mom. Knowing her mother's love of scratch-offs, Bree purchased a specially-designed ticket online, which, once scratched off, said, "Guess what. We are having a BABY!" As the family headed to the restaurant in their car, Lori, sitting in the passenger seat, was handed the card, which she began to scratch off. While she was doing so, Bree started to record her mom, waiting for the realization to hit.
