ATLANTA – A grocery store worker is checking out a Georgia Lottery win. Jennifer Butler, 25, played the instant game Jumbo Bucks Classic and won a $50,000 top prize.
Flash Foods #0271, located at 1800 N. Ashley St. in Valdosta, sold the lucky ticket. Butler scratched her ticket in the store’s parking lot.
"I had just gotten in the car," she said. "I couldn't believe it. I actually started crying."
Butler's mother and brother were with her at the time.
"They were really excited. They were crying and hollering and jumping around," she said.
Butler, a resident of Greenville, Fla., will use her winnings to help buy a new home for her mother.
