Tiny “TJ” Jones plays the lottery every once in a while. Jones recently went to a Thunder Shell Food Mart near his home and bought an Easy Pick lottery ticket. Jones was a winner but did not realize how much he had won until he looked online and discovered he had won $200,000.

Jones commented that he thought he had only won just a few hundred dollars. Jones went online and checked and found that he had won $200,000. Jones decided to not tell his wife and surprise her when he got the check.

Both were very excited and Jones stated he plans on retiring in the next two to three years. His wife would like to use some of the winnings to make home improvements. Jones also commented that he was glad that the lottery helps support Oklahoma education.

Improvements and enhancements are supported by the proceeds from all of the Lottery games. Since November 2005 over $250 million has been given toward education in the state.
