Albany- An Albany man's fantasy came true thanks to the Georgia Lottery's Fantasy Five. Lynn Barney won more than 266-thousand dollars after splitting Monday's jackpot.

He plans to use the money to pay off his home, his mother's car, and to buy a car for his 17-year-old daughter.

Employees at Flash Foods on Gillionville were surprised to have sold the winning ticket.

"We've got one happy customer out there in Albany now, and we just hope that he comes back and spends some of his winnings with us," said area supervisor Sharon Mizell.

The Flash Foods will get a two-thousand dollar bonus for selling the winning ticket.
