Code buys winning lottery
ticket from local merchant
On Nov. 12th, Benny Code beat
the odds, winning $5,000 in the
Georgia Lottery.
Code entered the Exxon Station
on Marshallville Road intent on
buying a ticket for the S 4 million
lottery. Instead, he followed a
hunch and bought five other lottery
game tickets.
Waiting until he got to his
brother's house in Elko, Code
scratched off the tickets. One of the
tickets caught his eye.
"It looked like $5,000 three
times," said Code. "I got in a little
more light and looked again."
Code said it took three looks be
fore he finally realized that he won
the $5,000 pot. "I said. This really
is $5,000,'" he said.
"Any time you get something
like this, it makes you happy,” said
Code.
Code said that he would use the
winnings to pay off a few bills and
purchase some "gifts for Christ
mas."

Her hobbies are cooking and
reading. She reads a viuiety of ma
terial - mostly religious . but some
mysteries, just for fun.
Her cooking is not die gourmet
type, she says, but is the kinu that
her family enjoys. “They are good
eaters!
“I like to bake and try new
recipes.
“For hobbies, die boys play ten
nis and basketball. About all I do,
though,” she said, “is to work and
go home!”

Jim is active in the community
in addition to his role as pastor of
Perry Presbyterian Church. He
works with a prayer group that
meets in the mornings at the New
Perry Hotel, is active in the Perry
Ministerial Association, and many
other “causes” in the community.
His church had a rather small con
gregation when the Shipleys came
to Perry. There are now 350 men
bers, requiring two morning ser
vices.
Mary Ann is indeed a great
“helpmeet”
for Jim, and an asset to the
community.
