That's The Ticket!

Charlotte {Rickard} & John Long

Following Johnny's Navy service during WWII, and journalism education in California and Boston, he returned to his hometown of Cincinnati. He met his future wife, Charlotte, when, while attending a church festival, he bought a raffle ticket. He won $2000! It was Charlotte who sold him that ticket. When reminded of this story many years later, Charlotte said "I married him for his money!"
