A pair of Middle Georgians recently hit six-figure jackpots in the Georgia Lottery.
Terence Howard of Roberta raked in $150,000 and Brenda Curry of Macon won $100,000 in instant-winner, scratch-off games. Both claimed their winnings last week.
Howard, a 22-year-old trucker, won playing Giant Jumbo Bucks at a Kwickie-Flash Foods store in Fort Valley.
It was intense, Howard said in a lottery news release. I told my mother and she was more excited than I was.
Howard said hes buying a truck with the winnings and a car for his mom.
Curry, 50, a child-care counselor, says shell pay bills with her prize. She won playing the $100,000 Monopoly game at a BP mart on Hartley Bridge Road.
The mother of four told lottery officials that when she scratched off the winning game card I almost fainted.
