They lived and went to school in Perry Hall, and now both reside in the Carolina’s.
In March, Denise was in Maryland visiting her mother. She purchased several scratch-off tickets for her and Judy to scratch when she returned to her new hometown in North Carolina. During Denise’s visit with Judy, they played the tickets over dinner, taking turns scratching. Screams of joy filled the room as they realized simultaneously that they were winners of a seven-night Royal Caribbean cruise for two. The two BFF’s will take the cruise together sometime this summer. The winning ticket was purchased at the Giant #131 located at 8665 Philadelphia Rd in. Baltimore.
