The Hills were excited when they won $5,000 from the Georgia Lottery. But excited doesn't begin to cover how they felt one week later, when they won again — this time a $1 million prize.
"I was really ecstatic about the $5,000," Hill said, "but then, boom! When I got this one I was just like, 'Wow, I can't believe this. My life is going to change for the better.'"
Karen Hill, a 34-year-old mother of two, bought the winning ticket for the World Class Millions instant game at City Chevron, 701 Edge Road in Villa Rica, when she stopped on her way to work.
"I looked at it over and over to make sure I wasn't reading it wrong and then I called my husband," Hill said.
Her husband Chuck won $5,000 from the Weekly WinFall drawing one week earlier.
"I never thought in a million years that I'd win anything, even the $5,000," Hill said. "So I'm still in a state of shock."
The couple plans to use the money to pay off bills.
Hill said her two children, 6 and 9, don't have a complete concept of what the money means, but said "they know we're not going to struggle anymore."
Hill works for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and her husband works in electrical engineering.
"I'm just very thankful," Hill said.
Thanks to Truesee for the tip.
Wow!!
That is exciting. 1st $5000.00 Than a Million. I won $70.00 once.
Very lucky indeed! Congrats to them.
That's what I call teamwork!!!!!
Some folks have all the luck!Congrats to the lucky couple!!
Congrats to them, their kids will have their college paid for and of course the erasing the debt is always a nice big plus, maybe paying off their mortgage as well though I guess there are benefits to not doing so or so I've ready and been told. They'll have a nice nest egg boost for retirement in 30 or so years as well as a nice bit of residual income. They should certainly be keeping their jobs which I'm guessing are at the very least, nice paying middle-class (potentially upper-middle) jobs, especially the husband's..
Congrats to them
