When Nancy Hitchcock stopped by the local RaceTrac to pick up a soda, she could not have imagined she would be a half-million dollars richer.
Hitchcock, 63, of Alpharetta played the Georgia Lottery instant game Jumbo Jumbo Bucks and won the $500,000 top prize. Just a week prior, she had walked away with a $1,000 win.
“I’m still in shock,” said Hitchcock, a medical transcriptionist.
She purchased the winning ticket at the RaceTrac on McFarland Parkway, along with a Coke, and scratched the ticket in her car.
A grandmother of four, she plans to help her family with her winnings and possibly take a Disney vacation.
“Everyone who wants to go,” she exclaimed. “We’re going to go to Disney.”
