NEWINGTON - A Newington resident was presented a $750,000 check from the Georgia Lottery last week, after playing the holiday-themed instant game Jingle Jumbo Bucks and winning the game's top prize. Seventy-two-year-old Paul Hansen purchased the winning ticket at BP Gas & Convenience at 7922 Savannah Highway in Newington, according to a Georgia Lottery Corporation press release. "I had the ticket in the pickup, and I looked at it and didn't believe it," he said.
