LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A Rogers woman's visit to her husband
at work on New Year's Day paid off handsomely.
Tammy Sue Johnson decided to buy a scratch-off ticket while
visiting her husband at the Kum & Go store in Lowell and she bought
what turned out to be a $500,000 winning ticket.
Johnson took the day off from work at the Wal-Mart headquarters
in Bentonville on Monday to cash the ticket. She says she got a
check for about $375,000 after taxes and plans to buy new family
vehicles.
Office manager Cindy Burnett at the lottery's Springdale Claim
Center says two other $500,000 grand prize tickets were produced
but have not been claimed.
