What Can Be Nicer Than a $50,000 Holiday Gift?

Some will definitely have a very happy holiday season, who will not agree that receiving a $50,000 windfall is the nicer gift possible? However you don´t necessarily need to wait for some millionaire kin to be generous enough to hand you a big check for Christmas. A 23-year-old Laurens County man already received his big gift from the Georgia Lottery. William Parks of Rentz won a $50,000 top prize playing the popular instant game Jumbo Bucks Classic.

After this win, Parks plans to pay off his bills and his car, that will certainly take off some pressure from his shoulders and will be able to start the new year with a refreshed state of mind and finances. Lotteries

The winning ticket was bought at Cartons & Cases, 1823 Rice Ave. in Dublin. Parks is the type of guy who buys his scratchers and scratches them right away. This is a very convenient practice, for if you win, you can simply verify the ticket right away or maybe even cash it.

“I was kind of shocked when I scratched it in the store,” he explained.

Real Life Monopoly, Better Than Playing Monopoly!

What can actually be better than living the Monopoly life, just imagine by the mercy of a few steps, you land in the right spot to cash in, but this time it is not Monopoly money, it is real cash. The Florida Lottery offers this unique experience by incorporating the theme of one of the most popular table games in their instant games repertoire.

Deborah Thomas, 61, of Tamarac, was lucky enough to jump in the right spot, buy the correct ticket and claim $500,000 prize. Almost surreal if you come to think about it because sometimes what you do in a table game, actually happens in real life. But that is exactly what lottery is all about, you go in to pick up a bottle of water, a certain game catches your attention, you simply can´t stop thinking about it so just go ahead and buy the ticket, and scratch! You are a winner. Sometimes winning is that easy.

According to Deborah, this prize could not have come at a better time and she plans to continue playing the lottery. “This will be a very special holiday season for my family and me, and I am extremely thankful for this wonderful experience,” said Deborah.

She purchased her winning $3 Million Monopoly Scratch-Off ticket from Snappy Convenience Store, located at 115 Southeast 10th Street in Deerfield Beach.

Although no details were provided as to how she plans to invest her money, we are sure she will have a very happy holiday season in the company of her loved ones.
