ATLANTA – It was the luck of the draw that dealt a Cairo woman a winning quarter-million dollar prize. Jurlene Reddick, 57, played the Georgia Lottery instant game $150,000,000 Slots of Luck and won a $250,000 top prize.
The grandmother of five stopped for gas at Easy In & Out, 2103 Smith Ave. in Thomasville, when she purchased the ticket and scratched it in her car.
"I couldn't believe it," she said. "It really didn't hit me."
Reddick, a retired caregiver, feels good about winning the lottery. She and her husband, Leroy, have three adult children.
The couple intend to pay off bills and vacation in Florida.
