ATLANTA – One lucky Macon mother of five has clutched a superb prize from the Georgia Lottery. Ladeidra Holt, 35, played the instant game $10 Million Cash Spectacular, winning a $1 million prize.
Holt and her husband, Jeremy, purchased the winning ticket at Forsyth Food Mart, 4451 Forsyth Road in Macon.
She claimed her prize April 28 at the Georgia Lottery District Office in Macon.
“I couldn’t believe it,” she said. “I kept going over the numbers. I was teary and wanted to cry. I’m a bottle of emotions.”
With children ages 19, 14, 12, 6 and 5, Holt wants to buy a new house for her family.
“It would be amazing to have as a foundation for my babies,” the lucky winner said. “I want to ride in something nice like an all-black (Dodge) Charger.”
