TRIP TO STONE MOUNTAIN TURNS INTO $500K WIN
October 18, 2011
While on the way to Stone Mountain, a Henry County woman targeted a Georgia Lottery ticket and won a half-million dollar prize. Bonnie Dennis of Stockbridge won $500,000 playing the instant game Jumbo Jumbo Bucks.
Dennis was on the way to her friend’s house when she decided to stop at Eagles Landing Food Mart, 105 Eagles Landing Parkway in Stockbridge, where she purchased her lucky ticket.
“The store wasn’t too far from my friend’s house,” she said. “I was sitting in my car when I scratched it.”
Speechless, Dennis drove to her friend’s house where she showed off the winning ticket.
“When she got excited, I got excited,” she recalled. “We both took three or four looks.”
The two “shouted out and laughed a lot.”
Dennis, 48, has one adult daughter and works as an employment specialist for people with disabilities.
“My future is secure,” Dennis exclaimed. “I’ll put some in savings, my house will be paid off as well as my daughter’s car.”
