(AP) -- One week after Chuck Hill won $5,000 in the Georgia Lottery's Weekly WinFall drawing, his wife did even better. 

Karen Hill bought a World Class Millions scratch-off ticket on her way to work at City Chevron in Villa Rica. Her $20 ticket won $1 million.  The couple has two children, ages 6 and 8. They said they would pay off bills with the money. 

Hill works for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and her husband works in electrical engineering.
