Touchdown! Georgia Lottery Player Scores a $500,000 Win!
A Columbus, Georgia man has claimed victory since winning a half-million dollars playing the Georgia Lottery. Lawrence Brooks, 57, won his $500,000 top prize playing the instant game Atlanta Falcons $500,000 Touchdown.
The grandfather of 12 purchased his winning ticket on game day at Ray’s Food Mart, 3802 Hamilton Road in Columbus.
“I got home, scratched it and went back to the store,” he said. “By the time I’d gotten back home, I had missed most of the game.”
The Falcons fan and his wife, Gail, are jumping for joy and are making special holiday plans.
“I’m going to buy the truck I’ve been wanting,” he shared. “I’m going to take care of my grandchildren.”
Overjoyed, Brooks added, “I am happy, happy, happy.”
