One person is about a half-million dollars richer thanks to a lucky purchase made at a Cobb County convenience store.

A Fantasy 5 jackpot ticket worth $515,661 was sold Tuesday in Marietta for the June 25 drawing, the Georgia Lottery Corporation said. The winning numbers from that drawing were 1-8-13-26-36.

Chevron at 630 Whitlock Avenue NW in Marietta sold the ticket, and the winner claimed the prize on Wednesday.

Profits from the Georgia Lottery Corp. have contributed more than $20 billion to the state for education. Lottery revenue pays for programs such as the state’s HOPE Scholarship and the Pre-K program.
