A Johns Creek man whose children have benefitted from the Georgia Lottery-funded HOPE Scholarship Program has, himself, won a Georgia Lottery prize.

Samuel Eulette, 60, was selected as a grand prize winner in the Georgia Lottery’s Play It Again Reloaded Second Chance Promotion, winning a $15,000 prize.

“It feels good. I’m fantastic,” Eulette exclaimed. “We’ll take a nice vacation, and I’ll take on a home improvement project.”

The lucky winner and his wife, Vanessa, have three adult children, two of whom graduated as HOPE Scholarship recipients.

As a monthly cash prize winner in the promotion, Eulette had an opportunity to spin a wheel to win cash prizes ranging from $5,000 to $1 million.

Georgia Lottery players with non-winning $1 and $2 instant tickets or non-winning Mega Millions and Powerball tickets can enter into the promotion. For more information, visit www.mygalottery.com.

Since its first year, the Georgia Lottery Corp. has returned more than $16 billion to the state of Georgia for education. All Georgia Lottery profits go to pay for specific educational programs, including Georgia’s HOPE Scholarship Program and Georgia’s Pre-K Program.

More than 1.7 million students have received HOPE, and more than 1.3 million 4-year-olds have attended the statewide, voluntary prekindergarten program.
