ATLANTA – An assembly technician from Harlem has put together a winning combination. Kenya Evans won $235,602 as one of two players to match all five winning numbers in the Fantasy 5 drawing on Nov. 1.
"I was screaming and jumping up and down," said Evans, 26. "It still hasn't sunk in yet."
Winning numbers for the drawing were: 7-14-26-29-32. According to Evans, she used her age and the ages of some relatives for her lucky combination. She purchased the top prize ticket at GT Package Shop, located at 5108 Wrightsboro Road in Grovetown.
Evans, who works for a tractor company, plans to "pay bills off first, then invest and get a new car."
Georgia Lottery retailers selling winning Fantasy 5 top prize 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 top prize ticket is sold, the retailers selling the top prize winning tickets will share the bonus. GT Package Shop will receive a retailer incentive bonus of $6,000.
