ATLANTA – When a Kennesaw woman went to Publix, shopping was a pleasure. Addie Williams, 72, played the instant game Golden Ticket and won $100,000.
Williams bought and scratched the top prize ticket at Publix Super Market #0559, 2774 N. Cobb Parkway, Kennesaw.
“I guess I was shaking,” she said. “I didn’t want to make a scene.”
A retired real estate office worker, Williams plans to “pay off some bills and save a little bit.”
