Lottery player wins $150,000 jackpot in Georgia. Where was ticket sold?
The player won a $150,000 Fantasy 5 jackpot after matching all five numbers in the drawing Sunday, July 6, the Georgia Lottery said.
The winning ticket was sold at a Magnet Market in Conyers, beating odds of 1 in 850,668 to snag the game's top prize.
The winner hadn't come forward as of July 7, a lottery spokesperson told McClatchy News.
The numbers drawn Sunday were 4-18-21-33-36, results show.
It's the latest in a string of big lottery wins across the Peach State, coming just three days after a Mega Millions player in Kennesaw netted a $3 million prize, McClatchy News reported.
On July 4, someone hit the Fantasy 5 jackpot and won $567,689, the Georgia Lottery said. That ticket was sold at a BP station in Carrollton.
Winners in Georgia have 180 days to claim prizes on draw games and are encouraged to sign the back of their ticket, the lottery's website says.
Conyers is about a 25-mile drive east from downtown Atlanta.

Lottery player thinks she won $500. Real amount has her in ‘speechless disbelief'
A California woman has known for more than a decade good fortune would come her way. Since she won a $30,000 prize on a Mega Millions ticket in Arizona in 2011, Deborah Trullinger just knew, California Lottery officials said in a July 3 news release. 'I've been telling everybody,' Trullinger said in the release. ''You just wait, I'm going to win the multi-million dollar jackpot.'' Turns out, her prediction wasn't wrong — a recent scratch-off ticket purchase led to her to a life-changing lottery win. Trullinger was buying groceries at a Murrieta grocery store when she decided to also pick up some lottery tickets, including a $20 Cash King ticket, lottery officials said. She ran a few more errands, then scratched her ticket once she got home 'as her husband watched the news,' lottery officials said. 'I didn't have my glasses on, so I was scratching, and I thought 'Oh! I won 500 dollars,'' Trullinger said. 'Then I said 'honey, I think I won 5,000' and then I go, 'wait a minute.'' 'Overwhelmed,' she walked in front of her husband; she stood there 'speechless,' lottery officials said. 'What?' he asked. 'You won $5,000?' 'No,' Trullinger said. 'We won a little more than that.' The couple had won the game's top prize of $5 million, lottery officials said. Trullinger verified her win using the lottery app on her phone. When she held her phone up to her husband, he 'joined her in speechless disbelief,' lottery officials said. 'We both broke down in tears,' Trullinger said. 'It was just an unforgettable moment.' The couple, who will soon celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary, plans to use their winnings to move up retirement and travel together. Hawaii, a new car and maybe a new home are among the things they are immediately eyeing, lottery officials said. While Trullinger's prediction may have been more than a decade in the making, 'she was right all along, and it came along just at the right time,' lottery officials said. Murrieta is about an 85-mile drive southeast from Los Angeles.

Mom of five wins millions in NC lottery — and can't wait to tell her children
A mom of five won a huge lottery prize — and couldn't wait to share the news with her children. 'I got them on a video call and told them, 'We are millionaires,'' Cesaltina Ribeiro told the North Carolina Education Lottery. As Ribeiro basks in her $4.7 million win, she plans to treat her loved ones to a new home and a family vacation. 'It's an amazing feeling,' Ribeiro told lottery officials in a July 7 news release. 'Now I can do a lot more.' Ribeiro was in bed when she went online to try her luck on the Outlaw's Loot game. It turns out, her $1 ticket beat 1-in-50 million odds to hit the jackpot, McClatchy News reported. The lucky winner called her kids right away, but they were concerned at first. 'I kept yelling so they didn't know what was going on,' Ribeiro told lottery officials. Ribeiro couldn't contain herself after scoring the second-highest prize ever won in the lottery's digital instant games. The record holder is a $6.7 million ticket sold in April, McClatchy News reported. Ribeiro kept $3.3 million after taxes. In addition to helping her family, the mother and grandmother hopes to invest her prize money. She lives in Elm City, a roughly 50-mile drive east from Raleigh.
