A Kentucky couple won a nice chunk of change after using some very special numbers to play the local lottery.
The couple, who have remained anonymous, purchased their winning ticket for the Cash Ball 225 game at B Quick Marathon on Upper Hunters Trace in Louisville, according to CBS affiliate WLKY and ABC affiliate WHAS. They ended up winning a $225,000 prize.
To pick their numbers, the pair looked to dates that have sentimental value to them.
"What I loved about our win is the numbers that we won on were the numbers that I picked," the wife said. "His birthday. My birthday and our anniversary date."
Ultimately, the couple matched all four white ball winning numbers, but they weren't aware they won until days after the Aug. 22 drawing.
"Because we buy our tickets for 7 days, I usually check them when I get around to it," she said, according to the outlets.
But her husband was admittedly "skeptical" that they had won after checking the ticket himself.
"My reaction? I'll be perfectly honest with you. My reaction – because I'm a little skeptical – was 'I won't believe this until we get to the Lottery office and see,' " he said.
Sure enough, the ticket was indeed a winner and they took home $162,000 after taxes.
Now they're planning to use the money for home renovations — and maybe a surprise here and there for her husband.

"Since I'm the one who buys the tickets, I might buy him four new tires," she quipped, according to WHAS.
Kentucky Lottery officials did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
