Fort Valley Resident Wins Jumbo Bucks Classic $50,000 Top Prize
Thursday, August 11, 2005
ATLANTA – Recently Fort Valley resident Willie Towns was left speechless when he scratched a Jumbo Bucks Classic instant game ticket and won the $50,000 top prize. Mr. Towns scratched the ticket while sitting in his car next to his fiancée, Betty. “We were speechless for a while,” Mr. Towns explained. The 53-year-old plans to use his winnings to pay off bills, help his grandchildren and pay for his upcoming wedding. The winnings will also help the couple with future goals, including the purchase of a new home. “This will open up some new avenues for us,” Mr. Towns says. Neighbor’s Food Mart, located at 412 Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. in Fort Valley, sold the winning ticket. Since its first year, the Georgia Lottery Corporation has returned over $7.6 billion to the state of Georgia for education. All Georgia Lottery profits go to pay for specific educational programs. These include Georgia’s HOPE scholarship program; a statewide, voluntary pre-kindergarten program for four-year-olds; and a wide range of technological and capital upgrades for the state’s schools, technical institutes, colleges, universities and public libraries.
