Army Veteran Returning To Afghanistan Wins $250,000 -- AJC
An Army veteran from Fayetteville won a quarter million dollars in the Georgia Lottery days before his return to Afghanistan.
Gregg Curry, a father of three and a master sergeant with the Third U.S. Army Forces Central Command, bought a winning Cool Cash ticket while stopping to buy a bottle of water with his wife, Mary, lottery officials said Friday.
Curry, 47, returns to Afghanistan Monday. He was home for two weeks from Bagram Airfield, where he's been stationed for seven months. He'll be in Afghanistan another five months.
He told lottery officials that he plans to use his $250,000 to pay bills and take a vacation after his tour.

My Comment: $250,000 is a nice amount, but is it not life changing. I am just curious to know that if he had (instead) won tens of millions .... would he want to go back to Afghanistan? Would you?
