Jasper Strassenfest Half Pot winners announced 

Jasper —The Jasper Strassenfest Committee has announced that winners have come forward to claim the Half Pot Prize. 

After confirmation that the ticket was valid, Corey and Lori Humbert met with committee members at the Jasper Chamber of Commerce to claim their $57,522.50 winnings.  A photo of the Humberts was included on an announcement posted to the Jasper Strassenfest Facebook page.  

Half-pot winner Lori Humbert said that she was shocked to learn that she and her husband held the winning ticket. The couple has two young boys and plans to treat their family to a small celebration before saving much of the money for their future. They shared that they purchased their half-pot numbers while attending the Jasper Strassenfest Show and Shine Car Show.  

The family lives in Jasper. Corey works as a truck driver, and Lori works for Greater Jasper Consolidated Schools. They showed great appreciation for the work that went into planning the Strassenfest and were happy to support the fest and Vincennes University Jasper. 

They recognized that committee member Gary Schnell sold them the winning ticket and will be ready to purchase tickets again next year.  

In its second year, the pot total reached $115,045. A large portion of the proceeds will benefit the Vincennes University Jasper Scholastic Excellence Scholarship Fund to benefit local students. The scholarship includes tuition, a laptop and a $500 book stipend. 

The winning ticket draw took place on Friday, August 11 at the Jasper Chamber of Commerce.
