Cody Locantro of Gainesville has big plans for his $7 million prize from the Georgia Lottery: He’s going to get married.

Locantro, 35, was selected as a winner from the Oct. 30 $7 Million Jackpot Extra Chance Promotion.

After lottery officials presented him with an oversized check Thursday at the Georgia Lottery District Office in Duluth, Locantro said he planned to marry his longtime girlfriend.

“We’re engaged, but we haven’t set a date,” he said.

Georgia Lottery players submitted nonwinning tickets from the instant game $7 Million Jackpot for entry into a drawing.

Family and friends called Locantro to share the good news following the televised drawing.

“I didn’t believe it,” he said. “It’s a lot to take in.”

Locantro, who works at a manufacturing plant, anticipates planning for his family’s future.

“We have a 3-year-old son, so I want to set up a trust fund for school,” he said.
