ATLANTA – A man in Chickamauga is celebrating a win from the Georgia Lottery. Winston Trew, 69, is one of two winners each to win $50,000 from matching all five winning numbers from the March 31 Fantasy 5 drawing.
Trew purchased his Quik Pik ticket from Kwik E Mart, 805 Mission Ridge Road in Rossville.
The second jackpot-winning ticket was purchased in Lithonia.
Trew checked the results from the drawing on the Georgia Lottery’s website and claimed his prize April 1 at the Georgia Lottery District Office in Dalton.
“I was excited, and I shared the news with my wife,” he said. “She was greatly excited, and I can’t believe it.”
The lucky winner and his wife, Becky, have two adult sons and two teenage grandchildren.
Winning the lottery feels like a dream, Trew shared.
“I don’t know what we’re going to do yet, but we’re going to be conservative,” he said.
Winning numbers from the March 31 Fantasy 5 drawing were: 16-25-28-34-37.
