Thursday, July 12, 2012
ATLANTA – A Floyd County great-grandmother has rounded up a generous Georgia Lottery prize. Judy Chambers, 62, won a $377,777 top prize playing the instant game Red, White & Blue 7’s.
With two children, two grandchildren and six grandchildren, Chambers anticipates more playful days with her family.
“I’ve been wanting a place on the lake for the grandkids,” she said.
Chambers, who lives in Lindale, purchased her ticket at Plaza Food Mart, 1598 Rome Highway in Cedartown.
Chambers said she had a lucky feeling about stopping at that store.
“Oh yes, I was excited,” she said. “I went to the car, scratched it, and I took it back inside. The clerk was happy, too.”
