Hubbard, a telecommunications analyst for the Southern Company, said he was angling for fish in Carroll County with his 11-year-old son when he stopped for sodas and purchased the winning ticket.

Stop ‘N Shop Express, 10 W. Ga. Highway 5, in Whitesburg sold the lucky ticket.

“I was jumping up and down in the store,” he said. “The retailer shook my hand.”

Hubbard and his wife, LaTonya, have two children ages 13 and 11.

He said he has not yet decided how he’ll spend his winnings.

“Winning is a shocking feeling,” he said.
