Elaine Fulps is thrilled about the prize she won at a minor-league baseball game. But she is hoping she doesn’t have to collect anytime soon. Fulps, 60, won a $10,000 paid funeral at Tuesday night’s Grand Prairie (Texas) AirHogs game. “I almost croaked many times,” said Fulps, who was wearing a neck brace — the most recent effect of about 20 surgeries she has undergone for various medical problems. “God still has me around for a reason. To win a funeral.” Fulps said she will choose a casket and plot as soon as she recovers. “I’m going to pick a spot under a tree out of the Texas heat,” she said, “and let’s hope it’s a pet-free cemetery. I don’t want to get watered on.” The Associated Press
