Who’s the happiest man in northwest Georgia?

Its 56 year old Sam Adkins of Rome – just ask him.

Adkins recently won $129,124 playing Fantasy 5 in the Georgia Lottery.

He matched all five winning numbers [1-3-32-36 and 37] from the April 30th drawing.

The “Master of Understatement” told the media (quote) “I was quite pleased.” (end-quote).

Adkins purchased the Quik-Pik ticket at Smiley’s Corner Shop on Turner McCall Boulevard SW in Rome – how appropriate is that?

The Georgia Lottery has returned more than $14.3 billion to the state of Georgia for education.

All Georgia Lottery profits go towards specific educational programs including the state’s HOPE Scholarship Program and Georgia’s Pre-K Program.
