ATLANTA – Jason Fleischmann of Newnan was randomly selected in the March 21 Georgia's Millionaire Club drawing, winning $5,000 along with a chance to win $10 million.

Georgia’s Millionaire Club weekly drawings are held in conjunction with the instant game Georgia's $500 Million Club. Each weekly Georgia's Millionaire Club winner will receive $5,000 and become a finalist in the Extra Chance $10 Million Grand Prize Drawing.
Fleischmann, 38, works for a beverage company. The father of two plans to save his winnings.
"I'll probably just put it in the bank for right now," he said.

The Georgia Lottery will conduct a weekly drawing from all entries received that week. Weekly drawings will be broadcast as a part of the Cash 3 evening drawings each Friday at 6:59 p.m.
