Georgia man with flood damaged home wins lottery
A quarter-million dollar Georgia Lottery prize will help one Mableton family rebuild their lives following the metro Atlanta area's historic flooding last month.
Michael Sussmann, 38, won $250,000 playing the instant game Millionaire Jumbo Bucks.
"I'm feeling much better," said a visibly overjoyed Sussmann. "I don't think it has sunk in. I'm still in awe."
Sussmann and his wife, Cassie, together have three children, ages 11, 10 and eight. The couple, whose home received tremendous water damage, plans to purchase a new home.
"Before we won, we were trying to figure out what to do," he shared. "After the flood, all you could see was the roof. It was devastating. We salvaged what we could."
Gateway Newsstand #293 in Atlanta's Cumberland Mall sold the winning ticket.
"I said, 'Oh my goodness,' " he recalled. "I almost fell out."
Millionaire Jumbo Bucks is an instant game with cash prizes up to $2.5 million.
