Swainsboro grandmother 'pays it forward' with $250,000 win
Murphy Oil #7205, 408 S. Main St. in Swainsboro, sold the Quik Pik ticket. The winning numbers in the Nov. 13 drawing were: 15-26-36-39-40 and the Mega Ball was 45. The other top prize ticket was purchased in Atlanta. Giles was at home when she discovered her lucky win. "It was a fluke. I just had a gut feeling," she said. "I was delighted when I picked up that ticket." Giles, a housewife, and her husband, Gerald, have five adult children and four grandchildren. She plans to establish savings for her grandchildren and will give a family friend a car. "I consider it a 'pay it forward' moment," she said. Also, the couple plan to visit a grandchild in Okinawa, Japan, and they will buy themselves a new house and car. Giles will celebrate her 50th birthday and wedding anniversary on Dec. 19.
