A Marietta lottery player scored a $100,000 prize from a Georgia FIVE ticket bought at a local RaceTrac, adding to the state's recent string of big lottery wins. Meanwhile, a high-tech attempted car theft at a Marietta dealership was foiled by security systems, and a Kennesaw State student won $7,500 in a statewide entrepreneurship competition for her body art printing concept.

Why it matters

The lottery win highlights the excitement and community impact of major prize payouts in the Marietta area, while the thwarted car theft and student entrepreneur success showcase the city's growing reputation for innovation, security, and entrepreneurship.

The details

The $100,000 Georgia FIVE lottery ticket was sold at a RaceTrac in Marietta, part of a recent round of drawings that also produced a $1 million scratch-off winner in Soperton and several other sizable prizes across the state. Meanwhile, a high-tech attempted car theft at a Marietta dealership was stopped when security systems and locked gates prevented the suspects from stealing any vehicles, despite their use of advanced tools to try to start high-end Camaros and Challengers. And at Kennesaw State's Marietta campus, biology major SueAnn Hollowell took second place and $7,500 in the University System of Georgia's inaugural Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition for her PaintCo Labs body art printer concept.
