Yet Another Mableton Woman Wins Big With Lotto Ticket

A Mableton woman won a quarter-million dollar prize when she stopped at a gas station in Palmetto to buy ginger ale on her way to work on Tuesday. Pamela Taylor, 52, won a $250,000 top prize playing the new Georgia Lottery instant game Cool Cash.

This is not the first time she has been lucky when it comes to instant-win games. In 1996, her husband, Tim Taylor won $30,000 on a scratch-off ticket.

She said in a Georgia Lottery release that they had a "great Christmas" that year and shared their winnings with their family.

The couple, who have five children and four grandchildren, are going to use the money for business investments this time, according to the release.

Pamela Taylor is currently employed as a social worker for a nonprofit organization.

 “I cried on the way home,” she said in the release. “They were joyous tears.”

Pamela Taylor claimed her prize on Wednesday.
