Some people plan to sit back and relax in their retirement. Not Connie and “Fuzzy” MacMillan of Winchester. They just won a 2008 Harley-Davidson® 105th Anniversary Fat Boy® Motorcycle. Connie’s ticket won the top prize in the Virginia Lottery’s “Live to Ride” Sweepstakes. On August 19, 2008, Ms. MacMillan’s ticket was drawn from 125,818 entries, each a non-winning Harley-Davidson® Scratcher ticket.

“When the man from the Lottery called, I was a wreck,” she said. “We love to play the Harley-Davidson Scratcher.”

Years ago, Mr. MacMillan had a different model Harley-Davidson®, but got rid of it. On August 28, the MacMillans received the keys to their new set of wheels from Virginia Lottery Shenandoah Valley Customer Service Center Manager Lissa Keagy. The presentation took place at Winchester Harley-Davidson® in Winchester.

Both of the MacMillans are retired factory workers.

The Harley-Davidson® game showcases one of the great icons of the American road: the Harley-Davidson® motorcycle. The Lottery is offering a total of 10 motorcycles: eight for Scratcher winners and another two for winners of second-chance drawings. Both Harley-Davidson® second-chance drawings have been held. Tickets will remain on sale because, as of August 28, five motorcycle prizes and two $75,000 prizes have not been claimed from this game. Another 922 tickets were drawn to win prize packs featuring great Harley-Davidson® merchandise.

Since 1999, all Virginia Lottery profits have been designated solely to K-12 public school education in the Commonwealth. In that time, the Lottery has turned over more than $3.4 billion for Virginia’s public schools, currently representing about 7 percent of annual state funding for public education in Virginia. In 19 years, the Lottery has awarded more than $10 billion in prizes to players and more than $1 billion in retailer commissions.

“It’s just you and the road,” the local resident said. “I like the open part about the motorcycle.”

Orndorff, who works at Grove’s Winchester Harley-Davidson off U.S. 50 (Millwood Pike) east of the city, said she started riding in 1993. Her husband is also a motorcycle enthusiast.

Like many of the dealership’s employees, Orndorff rides her motorcycle to work often, especially in the summer when the weather is warm and gas prices are high.

“It can save you money on gas,” she said.

Orndorff was among thousands across the country who rode their motorcycles to work Wednesday as part of Ride Your Motorcycle to Work Day.
