Gov. Kathleen Sebelius made a Dodge City woman very happy today when she handed her the keys to a new 2007 Saturn Aura during a presentation on the east steps of the State Capitol.

“This is just great!” said Margaret Gerber. “It’s the happiest I’ve been in years.”

Gerber, 59, won the Saturn Aura when the Kansas Lottery drew her name from more than 56,000 entries for the Kansas Made second-chance drawing, which was held Feb. 2. The entries were non-winning $2 Kansas Made instant tickets.

In addition to the vehicle, the Lottery also pays the mandatory federal and state withholding taxes on the prize, plus other initial taxes and fees on the vehicle.

“Your Saturn Aura is one of the first to come off the line at GM’s manufacturing facility in Kansas City, Kan.,” Sebelius told the winner. “We’re proud you’ll be joining the ranks of those of us driving Kansas-made vehicles.” Sebelius purchased a Chevy Malibu made at the same plant.

Kansas Lottery Executive Director Ed Van Petten also took part in the presentation, along with several Saturn executives and representatives from Dillons.

A Dillons store in Dodge City sold Margaret Gerber the $2 Kansas Made ticket that won the drawing.

See Wordy....it DOES pay to enter contests and play the lottery. Sherry is vindicated....

Hey I even buy a ticket here and there, once in a while... it's a buck for a chance to dream about what if.

But it's not a retirement plan.
