York County Man Wins Martin Guitar from PA Lottery Promotional Drawing

NAZARETH, Pa., Nov. 11, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Barry Peters, of York, won a Martin Performing Artist Series GPCPA1 guitar from the Pennsylvania Lottery's Win For Life Martin Guitar promotional drawing.

Lottery Marketing Director Rob Shelton and C.F. Martin & Co.(®) CEO Chris Martin today presented the guitar to Peters at the Martin facility in Nazareth, Northampton County, prior to hosting him on a VIP tour of the headquarters facility.

Pennsylvania Lottery players had a chance to win one of three Martin Performing Artist Series GPCPA1 guitars, valued at $3,999 each, when they mailed in $10 of non-winning Win For Life instant tickets by Oct. 7. The Pennsylvania Lottery and Martin Guitar began their partnership in May with a commercial featuring Gus, the second-most famous groundhog in Pennsylvania, playing a smaller version of the GPCPA1 in a rock band.
