WINNERS continued from Page 1A quit a job, bought an airplane or Ross moved to the French Riviera. "You're never sure how people are going to change or react, but all in all it's gone pretty well," says freshly elected Roby Councilwoman Elaine Field. And other than occasional grumblings over gambling, a and whining by a couple of soreheads, there is scant evidence of big-time grudges among nonwinners. "This is a happy story," points out "Little Mike" Terry, 37, one of the ticket holders. The Terry family is in fact a major part of that story.
The idea for the betting pool originated at Terry's cotton gin and 21 of the winners were Terrys or relatives. "Big Mike" Terry, 49, his wife JoAnn and sons Chad, Jason and Jeremy all were winners. Big and Little Mike are cousins and farmers. Emma Faye Terry, Big Mike's mother, was also a ticket holder. She invested her winnings in a storm cellar.
Emma Faye's daughter, bookkeeper Peggy Dickson, 48, organized the pool and invited anyone who dropped by the gin to buy into the pot for $10. Because she had a dental appointment that Wednesday, she decided to get the quick-pick tickets in nearby Sweetwater. Little Mike's father, "Bunny" Terry, another winner, suggested she buy them at Longhorn Liquor. Store owner Jim Carson, who would reap nearly $500,000 for selling the winning ticket, also tossed $10 into the Roby pool and thus was a double winner. Carson's planning an Alaskan cruise.

But if you look up into the heavens, you will see the one you Angel). You are missed by us all. We Love You! Love, Mom Dad, Reginald, Karen, Bonnie, Tootie, Bobby, The Associated Press' Eighteen of the 43 lottery winners from Roby, Dickson, 48, organized the pool and invited Texas, pose at the door to the business office anyone who dropped by the gin to buy into the of the Terry Gin, where them in or out of sudden riches, but most everyone is rejoicing over spring rains and prospects of a bumper cotton crop. "This time last year it looked like the Mojave Desert," says farmer Freddie Stuart, 60, a winning ticket holder. "This year it looks like the Garden of Eden." Stuart says a bountiful cotton harvest would be bigger than the lottery.
Meanwhile, Stuart and the other "Roby Millionaires" point out that the Lotto winnings created only technical millionaires. "We lack a whole lot being filthy rich," says a smiling Stuart, who, like other members of the lottery pool, collects his winnings in after-tax annual payments of roughly $39,000 for 20 years. "It's enough to secure your future," says Jeremy Terry, "but not enough to go out and be silly and blow on a fleet of cars or a condo on the beach." Clearly, the federal government is the biggest winner taking its 28 percent cut upfront. Like several of the winners, Jeremy almost missed out on the jackpot. "My wife and I never played the lottery," he explained.
"We felt like it was throwing money out the window." But after turning down an invitation to join the pool, he told his wife on the eve of the drawing: "You know, if we don't get in, they'll win it and we'll miss out on it. She said, 'Let's do "We drove down to the gin that night and put up our $10." The next morning, his boss and fellow banker John Davis said he wanted in and asked Jeremy to take his $10 to the gin and see if he could still get it down. Peggy Dickson was leaving for Sweetwater just as Jeremy arrived. "If I had been a minute later," Jeremy admits, "he'd have out on it." That night, after learning that they'd won, Jeremy called his boss, who knew the Terrys were expecting a baby. "We won! We won!" Jeremy exclaimed.
"Was it a boy or a girl?" Davis asked. "No. We won the lottery." "You're joking?" "No. I wouldn't joke about something like Likewise, when Freddie Stuart learned from a late-night caller that the Roby cartel was a winner, he refused to believe it. "He's pulling your leg," he told his wife, and went back to sleep.
But when Stuart arrived at the Circle for coffee early Thanksgiving morning, folks were laughing and slapping one another on the back. "Man alive, we must have won it," Stuart remembers thinking. "It was the first time I'd seen 20 farmers together and not complaining. This was the happiest bunch I'd ever seen." $2 COUPON- $2 Hollywood" Nails FULL FILLS $2 OFF WITH THIS COUPON 3827 Call Field Faith Village Shopping Center (940) 692-1790 Hours: Mon-Sat: 9am-8pm Walk-ins $2 Sunday: Welcome $2 All Family har Chiropractic "Wir Sprechen Call 696-8184 FREE EXAM 2 FREE X-RAYS (if needed) 906211 Dr. Kim Junemann Chiropractor FREE HEALTH SEMINARS Every 1st and 3rd Tuesday 6:15 p.m.
Catered Please call to reserve Located In Michael's Plaza bookkeeper Peggy pot for $10. Although some winners had money before hitting the jackpot, 27 pool members were farmers, most of them heavily in debt. One was within days of declaring bankruptcy. Stuart and Little Mike maintain the most unlikely winner was Stuart's son Brad, 37, a farmer and cattle rancher. "He's pretty tight," says the elder Stuart, chuckling.
"He's driving a pickup with 250,000 to 300,000 miles on it. It amazes me that he won the thing, but it amazes me even more that he had $10 in his pocket." Added Little Mike: "Brad's never had more than 15 cents at any one time." Schoolteacher Debbie Terry, Little Mike's wife, says when she heard her husband had bought into the lottery pool she was angry. "I can't believe you're throwing that money away," she complained. "I don't want to hear it." Says Mike: "Yeah, she chewed me out good for wasting that $10." Manuel Valdez, 44, owner of Susie's Fish and Grill, was something of an accidental winner. He went to the gin that Tuesday to help fix a mechanical problem.
"Peggy asked me if I wanted in the pool. I said I did but didn't have $10. I went back to the restaurant and got real busy and forgot completely about it." Peggy Dickson reminded him later that day, but even then he almost reneged. "We can't really afford it, but it's up to you," his wife Susan told him. Valdez said he totaled up all his debts and said with a shrug, "Ten dollars more won't hurt, I think." Among their first purchases was a new pickup for the family and a dog for their grandson.
"It was the best thing that could ever have happened," says Susan Valdez. When farmer Jack McClure dropped by the gin the Tuesday before the drawing, he turned down Peggy Dickson's invitation to join the pool. "No, that's gambling," he joked. "You plant cotton don't you?" chided Big Mike Terry, who already had bought in. "Well," said McClure with a sigh, "give me one of those tickets." Last week, a reporter asked McClure, 69, if he planned to retire.
"No," he said with a grin. "I don't have any hobbies. Work's all I've ever done." Like many of the other winners, McClure is shooting for another Lotto jackpot. "We could stand one more round, couldn't we?" he asked Little Mike. "Yeah," Mike replied.
"My dad's motto is: 'Somebody's got to be the first one to win it Some, such as Harold Scott, 50, a biology teacher and head basketball coach of the Roby Lions, will forever be remembered for losing. On the Wednesday morning of the lottery, with 39 players in the pool, Little Mike spotted Scott driving by the cotton gin and knew he'd want in. "I'll go run him down," he told his companions. Little Mike drove to the school, which was closed for the Thanksgiving holidays, then barely missed his quarry at the post office. "He chased me all over town," recalls Scott, who had driven 10 miles to Rotan to get a $5 haircut.
"He finally gave up and called my home, and for once I didn't have the answering machine on." That night, after church, Scott and his wife Belinda spent the evening with Little Mike and Debbie watching a videotape of "Independence Day." "You just missed out," Mike teased early on. "We're all going to be millionaires." Scott was still there when Mike got the call about the winning ticket. "That added insult to injury," Scott says good-naturedly. Afterward, at an out-of-town sports event, Scott was asked by a stranger if he was one of those "Roby millionaires." Nope, he replied. The man continued to eye him curiously.
"Surely," the guy finally asked, "you're not the poor son of a bitch who got that million-dollar haircut?"
