ATLANTA -- A retired welder is celebrating his Georgia Lottery win.

James Harwood, 67, won a $282,219 jackpot prize after matching all five winning numbers from the Oct. 17 Fantasy 5 drawing.

Plaza Video & Lottery on Chickamauga Ave. in Rossville sold the winning Quik Pik ticket. A resident of Evensville, Tenn., Harwood said he was visiting his son, who lives in Georgia, when he purchased the ticket.

Winning numbers from the Oct. 17 Fantasy 5 drawing were: 4-13-20-22-36.

He discovered his win after checking the results on the Georgia Lottery’s Web site.

“It was a big surprise,” Harwood said. “It still feels like a dream.”

A father of two adult children with his wife, Delores, Harwood intends to pay off bills and share a portion of the prize with his one grandchild and one great-child.
