Two lucky Hoosier Lottery players and their guests got to attend a private concert performed by Luke Combs after winning the multi-state lottery promotion called Living Lucky with Luke Combs.
The two grand prize winners, Garrett Mundell of Terre Haute and Audra Korff of Evansville, were randomly selected from more than 19,000 entrants.
The concert was held at the historic Ryman Auditorium, former home of the Grand Ole Opry. As well as the concert, the VIP experience included airfare, hotel rooms, meals, a tour of the Country Music Hall of Fame, and a Hoosier Lottery prize pack. In addition to the trip to Nashville and their time with Luke Combs, Garrett Mundell was also drawn to win $10,000, and Audra Korff was entered into a separate drawing for an opportunity to win $500,000 during Combs's concert.
“I can't believe it and just feel so grateful,” Greg told the Hoosier Lottery when he was announced as one of the $10,000 winners. “When my name was drawn, I felt so excited.”
Although she did not win the in-concert drawing, Audra and her guests were thrilled to be able to attend the event. She said:
I can't believe we got to see Luke Combs so close. It was awesome.
Luke Combs is a country music singer and songwriter from North Carolina. He released his debut album, This One's for You, in 2017.
