Ford Worker Loses Job, Wins Lottery

UPDATED: 6:14 pm EDT October 27, 2006

ATLANTA -- Retirement day will be an especially memorable one for Ford assembly plant worker Jerome McInnis. McInnis played the new Georgia Lottery instant game Bah Humbucks and became the first to win one of the game’s $225,000 top prizes.

Jerome is a 13-year employee of the Ford assembly plant in Hapeville that closed today.

"I elected to take the early retirement package," shares McInnis, a College Park resident. "This came at a great time. It's just exciting to win like this."

1. Now he can pay off his house

and not have a morgage burdoning him down. He can use that money for his retirement instead, and probably max out his IRA contribution every year. He'll retire young and rich.

2. What a great country this is! Count on being one in a million! nt
