Another $1 million Powerball ticket is sold in Georgia, officials say. Here’s where
Another Powerball player won a $1 million prize in Georgia, marking the state’s second million-dollar win in less than a week, according to lottery officials.
The winning ticket was purchased at a Shell gas station in Lithia Springs, about 20 miles west of downtown Atlanta, a Georgia Lottery spokesperson confirmed to McClatchy News on Monday, Feb. 12.
The lucky winner matched all five white balls in the Feb. 10 drawing, results show. It comes days after a $1 million Powerball ticket was sold at a Savannah convenience store ahead of the Feb. 7 drawing, McClatchy News reported.
The winning numbers on Feb. 10 were 27, 28, 34, 37, 44 and red Powerball 8, according to Powerball’s website.
Georgia Lottery officials haven’t said if the $1 million winner has come forward to claim their prize.
A winning $1 million ticket was also sold in Kansas, according to Powerball. There were no $2 million winners and no one hit the $257 million jackpot.
The next Powerball drawing is Feb. 12, with an estimated jackpot of $270 million, the game’s website says.
