ATLANTA – A Crawford County mother is enjoying a win from the Georgia Lottery. Sharika Clark of Roberta won a $20,000 prize, taxes paid, from being selected as a winner from the $3,000,000 Taxes Paid Weekly Extra Chance Drawing.
Clark, 34, said that others had learned of her good fortune from watching TV, and they notified her.
“Someone texted my sister; then I got a phone call from a friend,” Clark said. “I got excited.”
The mother of three has teenagers, ages 17, 16 and 15. She anticipates using her prize to help her family.
