Lottery player wins huge Fantasy 5 jackpot in Georgia. Where was the lucky ticket sold?
A Fantasy 5 player put their luck to the test — and won a windfall.
Someone won a $474,752 jackpot after matching all five numbers in the Fantasy 5 drawing Wednesday, Dec. 11, according to the Georgia Lottery.
The lucky ticket was sold at Jay’s One Stop in Allenhurst, about a 50-mile drive southwest from Savannah, lottery officials said. The winner beat odds of 1 in 850,668 to win the jackpot prize.
The winning numbers were 06-17-22-24-41, results show.
Lottery officials didn’t release additional details.
It’s the latest in a string of big lottery wins in the Peach State. A Powerball ticket sold in Whigham won $50,000 in the Dec. 9 drawing, McClatchy News reported.
In November, two Powerball players split the “highest single payout” in Georgia lottery history after snagging a $478.2 million jackpot back in October.
Winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize, and players are encouraged to sign their tickets, the Georgia Lottery said.
