WAYNESBORO WOMAN CLAIMS HALF OF $22 MILLION LOTTO POT

A Waynesboro drug store worker claimed her half of a Lotto jackpot Tuesday when she received a check for $383,562, the first of 20 installments on her $11.2 million prize.

The second winner, whose ticket was purchased in Cana, had not come forward by Tuesday afternoon.

Joyce Harlow, 49, of Crimora said she has played the same six numbers - 4, 11, 12, 23, 43 and 44 - since Lotto began in 1990.

She plans to share the winnings with her boyfriend, Jerry Bartley, and take early retirement from the drug store where she has worked for 28 years.

She also plans to buy some land and her late mother's house.

Harlow said she was at Bartley's mother's home Sunday when she learned she had won Saturday night's jackpot.

``Jerry's sister told us a winning ticket had been sold at the Race Trac,'' she said. ``As soon as I looked at the winning numbers report, I knew I had won.''

She kept the winning ticket in a lock box, which she placed in a cooler and locked in her car trunk until Tuesday.
