Sunday, November 15, 2009

ATLANTA – A Clayton State University student is adding up a Georgia Lottery win. Naurice White won $208,519 by matching all five winning numbers in the Nov. 14 Fantasy 5 drawing.

"I kept checking the numbers over and over again," said White, who saw the winning results in a Players Club e-mail from the Georgia Lottery. "I was ecstatic. I was about to pass out."

White, a resident of Jonesboro, is an accounting major.

"It's amazing," said the 20-year-old. "The first thing I'm going to do is pay off my student loans. Then I'm going to buy a car and help my family out."

Winning numbers for the Nov. 14 Fantasy 5 drawing were: 11-12-20-24-34. Join the Georgia Lottery's Players Club to receive daily game results, promotional mailings, stories of lottery winners and much more. Register for free at galottery.com.

Georgia Lottery retailers selling winning Fantasy 5 jackpot 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. CITGO Food Mart will receive a $4,000 retailer incentive bonus.

Since its first year, the Georgia Lottery Corporation has returned more than $11.2 billion to the state of Georgia for education. All Georgia Lottery profits go to pay for specific educational programs including Georgia's HOPE Scholarship Program and Georgia's Pre-K Program. More than 1.2 million students have received HOPE, and more than 940,000 4-year-olds have attended the statewide, voluntary prekindergarten program.
