Woman wins $1,000 a week for life!

A Dacula woman is celebrating a lifetime Georgia Lottery win after her mother gave her a top prize Win for Life ticket.

Susan Williams will receive $1,000 a week for the rest of her life for a total of $52,000 a year, according to a state lottery news release.

Kwick Check, at 352 Harbins Road in Dacula, sold the lucky ticket.

"We stopped for gas, and my mom bought the ticket," Williams said in a statement. "She said, 'If this ticket wins, it's yours.'"

Williams, 45, works as a commercial loan officer. She plans to put her winnings toward the new house she is building with her husband, Dewayne.

"We were already building a home, and my mom just wanted to help," Williams said. "She's the best."

The winning numbers for the Win for Life drawing on Oct. 7 were: 8-11-18-24-28-30 and the Free Ball was 3. Williams' mother randomly selected the lucky combination.

There were three Win for Life second prize winning tickets sold in Georgia for this drawing worth $1,000 a week for a year. The second prize tickets were purchased in Conyers, Lawrenceville and Warner Robins.
