$500,000 dished up on Maysville café manager’s menu
ATLANTA – One Maysville café manager has a platter full of merry emotions since winning a half-million dollar Georgia Lottery prize. Angela Rylee, 44, won a $500,000 top prize playing the instant game Royal Riches.
Her husband, Scott, purchased the ticket for her at Cody Fuels, 5068 Maysville Road, Commerce.
“I’ve won $100 on it before,” she said. “I just like it.”
Once she scratched the ticket at home, the two hollered.
“I was really excited,” she said. “It came at a great time.”
The couple, who have two children ages 11 and 22, plan to purchase a new home.
