Sandy relief worker wins $100K scratch-off
A Chicago resident and New Jersey native returned home to help with the hurricane clean-up efforts and is going home $100,000 richer.
According to NJ.com, John Turner, a water mitigation and restoration technician for National Catastrophe Solutions of Chicago, headed east and stopped in New York before heading to New Jersey.
While at a deli in Neptune, New Jersey, he purchased a few instant scratch-offs and one of the tickets was a $100,000 winner.
A press release mentioned in the story states that Turner plans to use the money to pay some bills and perhaps buy an investment property around Chicago.
