A lovely story straight out of America. When a free Fantasy 5 lottery ticket converted into a $1,298,332 jackpot win for a man in Georgia. Robert Patterson Jr. won the prize with a free ticket matching the required 5 winning numbers in the July 17 Fantasy 5 drawing.

“It was on a free ticket, and I think that’s probably important for everyone to know,” said Robert, who won the jackpot. By matching two of five numbers in a previous Fantasy 5 draw his prize was a free ticket for the next coming lottery draw. Robert then used a lottery checker to review the results from his free ticket and was shocked and excited to discover he’s won the jackpot.

“I just looked at it and said, ‘I’m going to travel,’ ” he explained. “I don’t know where yet but probably Europe and some islands. It is exciting, the possibilities.”
