Lorraine Lopez, a housekeeper and team leader for the Air National Guard, won $198,753 in the Georgia Lottery as one of two players to match all five winning numbers in the Jan. 24 Fantasy 5 drawing.
According to Lopez, her husband, who checked the Georgia Lottery’s Web site, called her at 1 a.m. with the exciting news that she had won Fantasy 5.
“I couldn’t sleep anymore,” Lopez said. “We talked all night.”
Lopez, a Rincon resident, plans to pay off her home mortgage and all bills.
“Whatever is left, I’ll take a little vacation with the family. That’s it,” she said.
Lopez considers herself lucky to have won the lottery, but she says she’s “really lucky for having healthy kids and a good husband.”
Winning numbers for the Jan. 24 Fantasy 5 drawing were: 3-20-25-26-37. Lopez purchased her Quik Pik ticket at BP, 101 S. Columbia Ave. in Rincon. The second top prize ticket for the drawing was purchased in Woodstock.
