Tennessee visitor wins $50,000 while awaiting oil change

MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) For a $5 investment, Rollin Dygert, who bought five lottery tickets while waiting for his car’s oil to be changed at a Muncie service station, went home with $50,000. Dygert, of Waynesboro, Tenn., bought the Big Money scratchoff tickets Dec. 27 at McGalliard Center Pantry. Dygert, a Muncie native, was in the city for Christmas to visit his parents, Phyllis and Rollin Dygert, and his in-laws, Jim and Katherine Conner. HIS FIRST THREE tickets showed $2 payoffs. Good, thought Dygert. That got his investment back with a dollar profit. The fourth ticket was the big one. But “it didn’t click right away,” said Dygert, “so I scratched off the fifth one and won $2 again.” Even when his winnings did register he couldn’t quite believe it. “I just went to get the oil changed.”

Cloverdale consultant to the CCSC for this project UNLESS THE BIDS are thrown out; the fact that ADS is the only firm to offer prices of network hardware and cable installation seems to guarantee they will win some amount of work. The CCSC could vote to buy basic hardware and software from Computer Resource Management since its bid is $8,050 lower than the ADS offer in that category. That would drop the total price to $188,159. However, the bid specifications

Tim Owen said Abner called police at about 10:25 p.m. Wednesday to report the shootings. OWEN REPORTED that Abner told police Funk was waiting for them when they got home and opened fire with a shotgun. Police said Funk was arrested a short time later at his residence in Colfax.

And when the service station attendant said he needed a new air filter, “I said I thought I could afford it.” RETURNING TO the home of his relatives, Dygert told them he had gotten the oil changed and calmly hung up his coat before handing the $50,000 ticket to his brother-in-law for the big announcement. Dygert is a machine operator at Saturn Corp, in Tennessee. He said he plans to use the money to finish some home improvements, pay bills and save for his children’s college education. He regularly buys Hoosier Lottery tickets when he’s in the state, he said, adding that the most he ever won before was SIOO. HOOSIER LOTTERY spokesman Kurt Wise said Dygert got the 21st of 25 Big Money tickets with the top prize of $50,000. The chances of getting a ticket are one in 800,000, Wise said.

called for each bidder to detail how much support they will offer with the job. Computer Resource Management did not mention aftersale support and ADS did. IN THEORY, THE board could opt to buy IBM machines since that is what is currently in the student computer labs and because the price is still below what the school system expected to bid, even though it was the highest bid. McKinney said he plans of having a recommendation ready for the board’s consideration at the Jan. 13 meeting.
