Clerk Error Leads To $25 Million Lottery Win

A Georgia woman said a store clerk’s error caused her to win $25 million in a recent Powerball lottery drawing. Kathy Scruggs, 44, of Lithonia, claimed her prize Monday at Georgia Lottery headquarters. She said she asked the clerk at Shell Food Mart in Decatur for a Mega Millions ticket, but she was instead given a Powerball ticket for the September 14th drawing. “I just took it anyway. So I bought Powerball and Mega Millions,” Scruggs said. Scruggs won the jackpot with the numbers 16-41-42-50-59 and Powerball 5.
