Richard Griggs of Joiner isn’t really a magician.

But, he did turn $5 into $1,000.

That’s how much money he won playing a $5 Aces High instant lottery ticket he bought at Jordan’s Kwik Stop #32, 404 Greenwood in Lepanto.

JONESBORO, AR (KAIT)-The Manila Business Women held a fund raising event at the Depot Center on Thursday.

"Peaches for Kids" was a luncheon that took place where attendees could chose to donate money to St. Jude, LeBonheur or Shriners Hospital.

Treasurer of the BPW and volunteer at the luncheon, JoAnne Bennett, says this event started with an idea.

"This event was suggested by Leon Swihart of Leechville," Bennett said. "Because these are his peaches that he donates to us each year and he donated his peaches to this."
