He was expecting good news, and that's what h got?word that he had just won a 1988 Ford Mustani convertible: he could pick it up that day. "1 had dreamed I had won the car." said Robinson a self-employed businessman and Sherrow Estates resi dent. "I was already awake." Earlier, Robinson had purchased several chance: on the car from Shallotte business owner John Fazekas chairman of the board for Coastal Academy, a privati school in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The car project was part o the Mothers Club's Spring Fling, an annual fundraisinj event that supports the school, netting approximate!; 530,000 this year alone.

But the person representing them was reluctant to commit on their i, behalf. So. instead, the car went to the Robinsons. That Saturday, they drove to Myrtle Beach, S.C., to pick it up. Given a choice of a red or white convertible, s the two took the white, said his wife Dcedie, because it , was an automatic. f In the past he has won "rods and reels, things like i that, but no big thing," said Robinson. That is, until j April la. The car, said its smiling owner, is "one of those once in a lifetime things." , Robinson, who routinely buys chance tickets for I worthwhile projects, is a little superstitious when it comes to talking about the numbers. "You'd better not print that," he said of one of his comments. "That might break my luck." While Robinson was elated at winning, Deedie was i stunned as well. She hadn't even known he'd bought the i tickets. And, she added, "I'd never heard of anyone around here winning a car, much less Llnwooti." He not only won it, but he's letting Deedie drive it.
