Dalton: Dad gives daughter $123,000 lottery ticket

A Dalton, Ga., woman has her father to thank for a $123,000 winning lottery ticket.

“He gave me the ticket and said, ‘This is worth some money,'” said Kathleen Kincaid, 55, of Dalton. “When we found out the amount, I was like ‘Wow.'”

Kincaid is one of two winners from the Jan. 1 Fantasy 5 drawing, according to Georgia Lottery staff. She claimed the loot on Jan. 19.

She told lottery officials that her father bought the ticket at the Favorite Market on Cleveland Road in Dalton and gave it to her.

Kincaid, a sales agent with two children and six grandchildren, said she and her husband Barry have no immediate plans for the money.
