A Clayton County man won $305,429 in the Georgia Lottery after receiving a free ticket on a previous win.

Walter Woods, 50, of Riverdale matched all winning numbers in the June 18 Fantasy 5 drawing, winning the jackpot.

Woods had received a free Quik Pik ticket from Chevron Food Mart in Riverdale from a previous Fantasy 5 drawing that resulted in his win.

"I woke up this morning and saw the winning numbers on the news," Woods said. "I shouted out."

Woods, who works in security and in lawn care, said he anticipates purchasing a new home and taking care of his three children.
