Mid Columbia Resident Hits It BIG With Lotto Win!

If you got laid off, what's the BEST thing that could happen, besides getting a new job?  How about winning the LOTTERY?

Paul Clements, who was laid off from his job at Hanford last September, and was beginning to feel the crunch, said his wife Felecia bought the winning ticket Tuesday.  Turns out, he is, before taxes, $250,000 richer.   He was part of the big first round of layoffs at the Site.  He, his wife and their one year old daughter are celebrating, as are the folks at the SunMart Shell at 6006 W. Clearwater, because THEY get a bonus for selling the winning ticket!   A great story for a Friday.  His wife works as a nurse, but the money will be a big help.  The Clements did not immediately disclose any ideas on how they plan to spend it.
