Talk about a run of luck (we should all be so lucky)….
Meet Mr. Earl Fritz, 62, of Augusta, Ga. One week he wins $1,000 playing the scratch game “Extreme Green.”
Then, one week later, it’s back to scratching…and he won $777,777 playing “Super 7s.”
“I felt lucky last week when I cashe in a $1,000 win,” he told officials at the Ga. Lottery.
“Now I feel a little luckier.”
Indeed.
Fritz bought his ticket at Ms. Carolyn’s, in Augusta…and then began to scratch, he said.
I didn’t have my glasses on. It looked like a blur.”
Fritz, a carpenter,and his wife Faye have no immediate plans for either prize.
Now THIS is great gaming news! What do I do now?
