FAIRBURN, Ga. - Georgia Lottery officials say a Fairburn woman is $189,000 richer after finding a Fantasy 5 lottery ticket while cleaning out her purse.

Lottery officials say Rhonda Williams' winning ticket had been in her purse since the January 17 drawing.

In a statement released by lottery officials Williams is quoted as saying "“I found the ticket this weekend while cleaning out my purse. I went online to check the ticket, and I just sat there for a moment.”

A Stop N Go in Fairburn sold the winning ticket. The Quick Pik contained all five winning numbers.

Williams says she plans to pay off bills and perhaps take a vacation.

"I am shocked but very grateful," says Williams.
