ATLANTA – Truck driver Johnny Campbell hauled away a lottery win when he decided to purchase a Georgia Lottery instant game ticket. Mr. Campbell played $100,000 Club and won the game’s $100,000 top prize.
The Moultrie resident was so surprised that he asked a co-worker to look at the ticket. “I said, ‘Check this thing out for me, make sure it’s right,’ ” Mr. Campbell explained.
Mr. Campbell’s wife, Judy, attended Moultrie Technical College with the help of a HOPE grant. The 57-year-old plans to use part of his winnings to pay bills and then save the remainder.
The winning ticket was purchased at Inland #0596, located at 1000 First Ave. SE in Moultrie.
