Man shares lottery winnings with friend

ATLANTA -- During the Aug. 7 lottery drawing, Thomas Hinton of Buford won $115,632 playing Georgia's Fantasy 5 with his friend Angelo Fanelli -- and they split the winnings in half.

"I bought it with my buddy," Hinton said. "It was intuition -- male intuition -- that was working that day. Maybe it was premonition."

With his money, Hinton has decided to buy a new house for his family. Fanelli said he is paying off his bills.

The winning numbers were 10-28-31-32-36. Hinton bought the ticket in Hoschton at the Quick Pik at Jack's on Highway 211. Two other winning jackpot tickets were sold in Norcross and Albany.
