Quick stop for basil pays off for Aurora mechanic

John J. of Aurora won $2,500 on his Pick 3 ticket! John plays various lottery games often, and he even won $5,000 on Lucky for Life once, but he was still “stunned” at this nice surprise win. John matched all three winning numbers (6-0-3) for the Saturday, June 8 evening Pick 3 drawing. John purchased his $5 winning ticket when he stopped for basil at Safeway at 6100 S. Gun Club Road in Aurora. John works as a maintenance mechanic and will use his winnings for a vacation. Have fun and congrats, John!
