Lawrenceville Woman Wins 2014 Kia Soul from Georgia Lottery

Ga. Lottery press release

A Lawrenceville woman is elated to have won a brand-new vehicle from the Georgia Lottery. Kesha Wedderburn, 39, was selected as a winner from the 21 Black Series Second Chance Promotion, driving away with a 2014 Kia Soul.

Georgia Lottery representatives presented the lucky winner with keys to her new vehicle Thursday at Rick CaseKia, 3190 Satellite Blvd. in Duluth.

“I’m super ecstatic, really,” Wedderburn said. “This is huge for me.”

A Wal-Mart customer service employee, Wedderburn said she was driving when she received the good news from a Georgia Lottery representative who called her.

“I had to take a deep breath,” she said. “I’m very, very happy.”

With an 8-year-old daughter, Wedderburn anticipates having the Kia Soul as a weekend car.

The family of Georgia Lottery instant games, 21 Black Series, is loaded with cash prizes and top prizes ranging from $20,000 to $2.5 million.
