Mingo man wins TV for ‘super’ prognostication

A tiebreaker coin toss took place Tuesday at Hy-Vee Gas Station in Newton for the two winners of the grocery store’s Big Game Giveaway. Richard Morton of Mingo (pictured) and Lashelle Woods of Newton both entered the correct final score of the New York Giants 21-17 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. Morton won the 50/50 flip after, calling tails and a winning 40’ Toshiba HDTV. Woods won the consolation prize — a Toshiba Blue Ray player.

“It’s been 60 years since I’ve won something, and that was a camera,” Morton said. “It feels good.”
