Think there's nothing but garbage in the trash? Craig Randall didn't think so, and now he's $200,000 richer.

Randall, 23, a garbage truck driver from East Bridgewater, saw an old Wendy's restaurant contest cup on a heap of garbage in the back of his truck two months ago. Remembering that he'd won a free chicken sandwich the previous week, he pulled off the contest sticker and read, "Congratulations. You have won $200,000 toward a new home."Thursday, he drove to Wendy's in his garbage truck with his fiancee and two lawyers to pick up his prize - an oversize check for $200,000.

"How many garbage men do you see on the front page?" he said, pleased that his photo had appeared in several area papers.

Although Randall is not obliged to spend his contest winnings on a new home, he and his fiancee, 25-year-old Michelle Dacey of Taunton, said that's what he plans to do.

"That's all he's ever talked about since I met him - buying a house," Dacey said.

The couple's idea of Sunday fun is cruising East and West Bridgewater, looking at houses for sale, she said. The two plan to marry next September.

Randall said he was stunned when he peeled the sticker off the cup that some other hapless soul had thrown away.

"I was in shock," Randall said.
