ATLANTA — Just call her Lady Luck. Jane Blakeney-Kender of Sugar Hill has won a new vehicle and a cash prize from two Georgia Lottery promotions. Blakeney-Kender is a winner of a 2014 Kia Soul from being selected in the 21 Black Series Second Chance Promotion.
She also has won a $10,000 prize from being selected as a winner of the Maximum Green Monthly Extra Chance Drawing.
“Pinch me! To have everything happen within a few weeks of each other, it’s unbelievable,” she exclaimed. “We’re excited.”
Blakeney-Kender and her husband, Paul, entered their non-winning tickets online to be selected for the prizes.
Georgia Lottery representatives presented the lucky winner with keys to her new vehicle Tuesday at Kia Mall of Georgia, 4180 Buford Drive in Buford.
“This is our replacement car,” Blakeney-Kender explained. “We’re going to use the money for some upgrades to our house.”
The family of Georgia Lottery instant games, 21 Black Series, is loaded with cash prizes and top prizes ranging from $20,000 to $2.5 million.
Players can enter non-winning 21 Black Series tickets online for a chance to win a 2014 Kia Soul. For more information, visit galottery.com.
