Wednesday, February 22, 2017
ATHENS- A Laurelville resident couldn’t believe he won a top prize until he had the ticket validated in the Lottery’s Athens regional office. Charles Barker won $110,000 after matching all five numbers in the February 17 Rolling Cash 5 game.
After mandatory federal and state taxes totaling 29 percent, Barker receives $78,100.
Barker bought his ticket from Young’s Foodtown, ten minutes before the drawing. He spent $2 and that netted him the entire jackpot. He and his wife, Linda, are paying bills and buying a few things that need replacing, he said.
Young’s Foodtown receives a $500 agent bonus for selling a winning ticket.
