ATLANTA – A Columbus man is dashing through the dough this holiday season! Eugene Fluellen Sr., 50, won $750,000 playing the Georgia Lottery instant game Jingle Jumbo Bucks.
“This is going to be a great Christmas,” he exclaimed. “The best one I ever had.”
Fluellen purchased and scratched his top prize ticket at Jerry’s Food Mart, 3874 Saint Mary’s Road, Columbus.
“I just started shaking,” he said.
A textile worker, Fluellen is married with three children.
“I’m going to pay my house off and get the truck I always wanted,” he shared. “It feels great.”
Fluellen also hopes to “do a little traveling.”
