Million-Dollar Powerball Ticket Sold In Georgia

GEORGIA — A lucky Georgia resident is $1 million richer after this weekend’s Powerball drawing.

While nobody is taking home Saturday’s estimated $1.6 billion jackpot, one player did win big, qualifying for $1 million in prize money with the numbers 28-45-53-56-69-20, according to the Georgia Lottery. The million-dollar ticket was purchased at a Publix, WSB-TV reported, noting Saturday’s is the second Powerball ticket worth $1 million sold by the grocery chain in the last week.

Another seven Georgia Powerball players had the first four winning numbers Saturday, earning them $50,000 each, according to the lottery.

Lottery winners entitled to more than $600 must fill out a claim form and have a valid government photo identification and a Social Security card, and prizes must be claimed at a lottery office or via mail.

The next Powerball drawing is set for Monday when the jackpot is estimated to be $1.9 billion.
