ATLANTA — A Paulding County grandmother anticipates vacationing with her children and grandchildren with a windfall from the Georgia Lottery. Dinah King, 56, of Dallas won a $363,933 jackpot prize from matching all five winning numbers from the April 18 Fantasy 5 drawing.

An administrative assistant, King also plans to save a portion of her winnings toward retirement.

Winning numbers from the April 18 Fantasy 5 drawing were: 3-22-34-37-39.

Dallas Market, 2634 Bobo Road in Dallas, sold the winning Quik Pik ticket.

“It hasn’t sunk in, really,” King said.

She and her husband, Buddy, have two adult children and four grandchildren.
