LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (UPI) -- The mayor of Lawrenceville, Ga., said he
has won a quarter of a million dollars from the Mega Millions lottery.
Rex Millsaps, 57, who works as an accountant in addition to his
part-time mayoral duties, said his winnings will go toward his
daughter's wedding and detailing his pickup truck, the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution reported.
Millsaps said he will give the remaining money to his children and
grandchildren.
The mayor said he checked the numbers from the drawing Saturday and
called his wife to tell her he had matched the first five numbers of
the winning combination.
"She didn't believe me," he said. "I ended up taking it back to the
store, and the computer said to go immediately to the lottery office."
Millsaps, who said he plans to run for re-election in November, said
his prize would have been $16 million if he had matched the Mega Ball
number, 32. He said his ticket bore the number 34 in the Mega Ball
category.
