AL LINDSEY WINS WEST SIDE NUT CLUB Million Dollar HALF-POT

The West Side Nut Club announced that a lifelong westsider won the record-setting half-pot drawing. Al Lindsey, a retired Evansville Fireman and former city council member, accepted a check for $1,000,035, which he says will be split three ways with family members. Lindsey said that the family went in together to buy $300 worth of tickets.

In the six years since the half-pot started, a total of $9,598,180 has been raised. The proceeds are given to schools and nonprofit organizations in the community.
