Douglasville Man Wins New Harley in Ga. Lottery

From Georgia Lottery

A brand new 2015 Harley-Davidson has energized one lucky Douglasville man to once again ride high on the hog.

John Peele, a 20-year Harley-Davidson enthusiast, played the Georgia Lottery instant game Harley-Davidson, winning a new motorcycle.

“I’ve had several Sportsters. There’s nothing like Harley-Davidson,” said Peele, 63. “I’ve stuck with Harley-Davidson for as long as I’ve been riding motorcycles.”

The retired electrical contractor received the keys to his new vehicle Friday at Harley-Davidson of Atlanta, 501 Thornton Road in Lithia Springs.

“I’m glad to get it,” Peele shared. “I’m going to ride up into the mountains in the spring.”

A motorcycle rider since age 16, Peele continued into his 30s before he “gave it up.”

“I got out of it for a while,” he said.

Winning a Harley-Davidson has reignited his passion.

“I like the way it feels, and the way it rides,” Peele said. “I like riding around looking at things.”

Joe’s Bottle Shop, 3034 Bankhead Highway in Austell, sold the winning ticket.

The Georgia Lottery instant game Harley-Davidson is loaded with cash prizes, Harley-Davidson motorcycles and top prizes of $250,000.
