Neither snow nor rain, nor sleet nor heat nor gloom of night will keep him from his appointed rounds, but $400,000 could slow this postal worker's roll.

Atlanta postal Anthony King, 43, recently won the $400,000 top prize for the Georgia Lottery $20 Million Blowout instant scratch off game.

King bought his winning ticket at Quick and Cheap Food Mart, 2111 Rex Road in Lake City.

“I was light-headed and dizzy,” said King, after scratching his ticket.

He claimed his prize March 9 at Georgia Lottery headquarters in Atlanta.

“All of my dreams have come true,” King said of the day he purchased his winning ticket.

He intends to purchase a new home with his winnings.

“I can live comfortably,” King shared. “I feel pretty good now.”
