Thomasville man jingles bells with $25K ‘Jingle Bucks’
Saturday, December 24, 2011
One Thomasville man can “Deck the Halls” this holiday season with winnings from the Georgia Lottery. Henry Rollins, 78, played the instant game Jingle Bucks and won a $25,000 top prize.
Rollins said he purchased the ticket while on his way back from vacation.
Susie Q’s 13091 U.S. Highway 319 N. in Thomasville, sold the lucky ticket.
“I just went to the store and picked up the tickets,” the father of three adult children explained. “I scratched it at the house.”
Feeling good about his winnings, Rollins anticipates taking time to determine his plans.
