ATLANTA – One lucky Hephzibah man has spotted a win from the Georgia Lottery. Wilbert Maynor, 61, played the instant game 15X The Money, winning a $150,000 top prize.
Yo-Mart, 5131 Mike Padgett Highway in Hephzibah, sold the winning ticket, and Maynor scratched it outside of the store.
“I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “I just kept looking at it.”
With his winnings, Maynor anticipates purchasing a new home and a new vehicle.
