An Augusta resident bought a lottery ticket worth $100,000, lottery officials announced Thursday.

The ticket was purchased at First Stop, 1901 Gordon Highway, and was part of the Georgia Lottery instant game Fall into Money, according to a press release.

The winner, an unidentified Augusta woman, claimed her top prize Wednesday at the Georgia Lottery’s Augusta district office.

“I’m excited,” said store owner Jayesh Patel, who sold the winning ticket. “She showed me the ticket, and she hugged me.”

According to Patel, word is spreading quickly that First Stop is a lucky lottery store.

“More and more people are coming in and buying tickets,” he said. “I’m proud of my store.”
