A scratch-off Georgia Lottery ticket purchased at a Statesboro convenience store means a local woman is now tens of thousands of dollars richer. Sylvia Ellison, 41, a mother of two who works at a local mental health facility, won $77,777 recently after she bought a "Silver 7's" scratch-off ticket, said Kimberly M. Starks, the media relations manager for the Georgia Lottery Corp. Ellison bought the ticket at Time Saver on North Main Street in Statesboro.
