A 44-year-old Colquitt County man won over $310,000 from pulling a jackpot prize from a Fantasy 5 drawing.

Joseph Hullett, 44 matched all five winning numbers from the November 8 Fantasy 5 drawing to win $310,258.

The winning numbers from the November 8 Fantasy 5 drawing were: 21-22-29-33-34.

"We can buy a better home and have a better Christmas," said Hullett.

Hullett found he won when he called the Georgia Lottery's Player Information Hot Line.

"I woke up my daughter to show her the results, and she started crying. I believed it at that moment," said Hullett.

Hullett has two children and two grandchildren.
