Dec 10, 2012
December has been good to Janice Harris.
The 68-year-old retiree from the U.S. Postal Service celebrated her birthday earlier this month. She also recently claimed her $400,000 prize in the Georgia Lottery, thanks to the instant game 20X The Money.
The winning ticket was purchased at Pharr Food & Gas at 345 Pharr Road N.E.
Harris, of Atlanta, already has plans for the money.
“I’ll pay off some bills,” she said in the news release. “More than likely I’ll work with a charity that helps children.”
