Couple from Hell didn't have to wait until it froze over
If Hell were going to have a lottery winner, it seemed only fitting that it would come on the scariest day of the year.
That's what happened to Hell's John and Sue Wilson, who won a Fantasy 5 prize of $115,001 on Wednesday, which also just happened to be Halloween.
Sue Wilson, a teacher's aide, said although the couple knew their numbers had been drawn, they didn't realize the drawing had been held on Halloween until they claimed their prize two days later.
"How cool is that?" Sue Wilson, 43, said. "We live in Hell and won it on Halloween."
The couple said they plan on paying off bills, while John Wilson said he might finish up some home projects, such as putting up trim along their new flooring.
A trip to visit relatives in Georgia might also be on the to-do list and they plan on buying their 13-year-old son, John, a Nintendo Wii video game console.
"It's not $200 million or anything - it's not going to change our life, but it's ... something to say, 'OK, we're going to have a good Christmas,' " said the elder John Wilson, who is an electrician.
Thats a Hell of a nice Halloween!
Congrats to the Wilsons.
Ditto.
I've been through Hell a few times, it's not as bad as it's reputation.
Congratulations to the winners!
Nice story! Nice People!
Although $115,001 won't change their life, it sure can help. Congrats to them!
