Bobbie Ware didn't intend to play the $300,000 Taxes Paid game, but that was what she selected while standing in front of the Georgia Lottery vending machine at an Atlanta Kroger.

Georgia Lottery Bobbie Ware, 84, accidentally played the instant game $300,000 Taxes Paid game and won.

Ware, a mother of four and grandmother of 10, said she will share her winnings of $300,000 after taxes with her family. She is a former social worker who retired after spending 35 years with the state's human resources department.
