Media release from the Georgia Lottery Corporation:
A Georgia Lottery player won the $5 million top prize playing the Jumbo Bucks Extravaganza scratch-off game. The lucky ticket was purchased at Om Food Mart, 9757 Main Street South in Nahunta. The player claimed their winnings on Feb. 23 and selected the annuity option. Last week, Georgia Lottery players claimed $44,428,811 in winnings from scratcher games alone.
Another player hit the jackpot for $291,164 in the March 1 Fantasy 5 drawing. The winning ticket was purchased at Chevron Food Mart, 2499 US Highway 319 South in Thomasville. It matched all five numbers, which were 09-24-27-28-29.
A Georgia Lottery player won $100,000 in the March 2 Powerball drawing as well. The ticket, purchased at Royal 77 Food Mart, 831 Highway 362 West in Williamson, matched four of the five white-ball numbers and the Powerball. The player selected the Powerplay option which doubled the prize from $50,000 to $100,000. The next Powerball drawing will be March 4 with a jackpot of $20 million.
The brand-new Millionaire for Life game resulted in two $7,500 wins in the last two drawings. The tickets were purchased at:
