Mei Wen Hsiao, owner of the House of China restaurant in Mableton, Georgia, won the $300,000 top prize in the Georgia Lottery instant game Blackjack Showdown.
Hsiao, 52, purchased the ticket at a Chevron gas station and scratched it when she returned to her car. She and her husband, Tsung, plan to give a portion of her winnings to charity and open a second restaurant in Atlanta.(Source: John Blake, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Aug 16, 2007).
