Wednesday, December 23, 2009

ATLANTA – A Conyers man is in the holiday spirit, especially since winning a Fantasy 5 jackpot prize. David Anthony Sr. won $391,446 from matching all five winning numbers in the Dec. 8 Fantasy 5 drawing.

"That'll help tremendously," the grandfather of six exclaimed.

Anthony purchased his Quik Pik ticket at Shell Food Mart, 14656 Browns Bridge Road in Covington. Winning numbers from the Dec. 8 drawing were: 5-22-27-29-37.

"When I saw it, I didn't believe it," he said. "I told my wife, and she screamed."

He and his wife, Sandra, anticipate paying off their home mortgage.

"I feel pretty good," Anthony said.
