ATLANTA — Marie Womack of Tifton has won a $136,844 jackpot prize after matching all five winning numbers in the Oct. 8 Fantasy 5 drawing.
“I was wishing and hoping that I’d win,” she said.
Womack, 53, said she randomly selected her winning combination, and the numbers have no significance.
Winning numbers from the Oct. 8 Fantasy 5 drawing were: 2-8-21-30-34. She purchased her winning ticket at Flash Foods #0288, 1203 Highway 82 W. in Tifton.
She checked the Georgia Lottery’s Web site for the results.
“I woke up my husband, and he couldn’t believe it,” Womack said.
For now, Womack plans to make home improvements.
“I feel wonderful,” she exclaimed.
Georgia Lottery retailers selling winning jackpot Fantasy 5 tickets receive a retailer incentive bonus of $2,000. The retailer incentive bonus increases by $2,000 each time Fantasy 5 rolls. If more than one winning jackpot ticket is sold, the retailers selling the jackpot winning tickets will share the bonus. Flash Foods will receive a $2,000 retailer incentive bonus.
