Georgia Retiree Wins $250,000 “Mega” Prize; 14 Years Ago, She Won $150,000 Playing Powerball
A Marietta, Georgia, retiree has dived into a quarter-million dollar Mega Millions prize.
Martha Brown, who retired in April, matched the first five winning numbers from the July 27 drawing, winning a $250,000 prize.
The $250,000 Mega Millions win is the second time Brown has won a large prize from the Georgia Lottery.
She won $150,000 playing Powerball in 1996.
Holy Cow!!!!
“I split it with my children,” the mother of three said of her Powerball windfall.
Brown, 66, said she knew she was going to win.
“When I saw my winning numbers, I felt calm,” she said.
With seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, Brown anticipates purchasing a new house.
