Powerball player wins $2 million in Georgia. Where was lucky ticket sold?
A Powerball player is about to get richer after a stop at an Atlanta-area gas station.
The lucky player won $2 million in the drawing Wednesday, July 23, narrowly missing the estimated $326 million jackpot, according to the Georgia Lottery.
The winning ticket, sold at a QuikTrip station in Stone Mountain, matched five white ball numbers but not the Powerball, results show. The player would have won $1 million, but spent an extra $1 on the Power Play multiplier.
The ticket hadn’t been claimed as of Thursday morning, a lottery spokesperson told McClatchy News.
The Powerball numbers for July 23 were 2-18-19-25-35 and red Powerball 25, according to the lottery game’s website. The Power Play option was 3x.
There were no $1 million winners and no one hit the jackpot, results show.
The next Powerball drawing is July 26 with an estimated $350 million jackpot.
Winners in Georgia have 180 days to claim prizes on draw games and are encouraged to sign the back of their ticket, the lottery’s website says.
Stone Mountain is about a 20-mile drive northeast from downtown Atlanta.
