An 87-year-old woman who says she enters the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway every year finally won the grand prize with a ticket she bought Sunday morning.
Helen Tucker, of Macon, toured the home Sunday afternoon.
She says she almost forgot to buy her ticket this year, but she always donates money to the campaign because her great- granddaughter Katie was diagnosed with brain cancer when she was 2. Katie is now 7 and cancer free.
Tucker says she's hopeful that one day there will be a cure for childhood cancer.
She says she won't be able to keep the home and will more than likely sell it because of her age, but she hopes the home will go to a younger family who will be able to enjoy it.
“I wish I was about 50 years younger,” said Tucker. “It would have been wonderful to have this home when I we had our children and [they] were growing up. Of course, they're all grown and have children, but we wouldn't be able to move at this age especially with steps.”
