An evacuee who left New Orleans for Oklahoma after Hurricane Katrina is the first $25,000 winner of the Oklahoma lottery.
Caronell Allen now lives in Bethany and claimed his prize at 8:30am Monday, about 22 hours after being told by a convenience store clerk that he is a winner.

He says he bought the $5 ticket at a Buy for Less store on the northwest side of Oklahoma City yesterday.

Allen says he'll put the money in the bank and add it to his anticipated earnings as a construction site laborer. He got the job the day before buying winning ticket.

1. I saw that ...

Thought it was very nice.

He bought it at a store where I shop, which I also thought was cool.
