Then, settling down to counting her winnings, Mrs. Hubert decided to keep: a $1,000 U.S. savings bond; a man's and woman's wardrobe, each valued at $1,500; a year's supply of candy, flowers, shaving lotion and cologne; free haircuts for five years; a $1,200 living room suite; a $1,000 radio-phonograph-television...
