Craigory Burch Jr., a Fitzgerald forklift driver, has won nearly half of a million dollars from the Georgia Lottery.

Burch matched all five numbers in the November 29 Fantasy 5 drawing, winning the USD434,272 jackpot, according to Georgia Lottery officials.

The 20-year-old purchased the winning ticket as a Quik Pik.

Burch had a premonition about winning: "I knew that I would come into money."

Nevertheless, the lucky lottery winner was in disbelief when he discovered he'd won. "I couldn't believe it at first. I was stunned," he says. "I'm still overwhelmed."

There's no mention of whether he plans to continue driving forklifts.
