UNDATED - Two North Georgia residents were big winners recently, according to the Georgia Lottery Corporation.

Yvonne Pillert, 44, of Auburn won a Fantasy 5 jackpot prize. Pillert matched all five winning numbers in the June 28 Fantasy 5 drawing and won $663,308.

Publix Super Market #1178, 831 Auburn Road in Dacula, sold the winning Quik Pik.

Meanwhile Paul Gibson of Jefferson won a $200,000 prize playing the instant game EZ Grand. Kroger #0638, 1685 Old Pendergrass Road in Jefferson, sold the winning ticket.

"'Wow' was my initial reaction," said Gibson, 37. "I told my mother-in-law, who thought we were joking around."

Gibson is both a sports coach and a school teacher. He and his wife, Jennifer, have three children, ages 10, 7 and 2. The couple have no plans at the moment for their winnings.
