George wins cash, gives it away

Jason George of Maple Lake was the big winner of the St. Timothy School Spring Auction Fundraiser grand prize, a side-by-side or $15,000 cash. Above, George, left, accepted the check for $15,000 from Father John Meyer on Wednesday, April 20. He decided to go with the cash option instead of the side-by-side with the intent to give the money back to the community. He “gave to give and not to get,” he said, and plans to divide the winnings between St. Timothy and his home church, Holy Cross in Maple Lake. He is also going to share some of the profits with the family who sold him the winning ticket.
