Powerball player scores big prize in Georgia. Where was the winning ticket sold?
A Georgia lottery player was a number shy of the $20 million Powerball jackpot — but still netted a big prize.
The player tried their luck in the Jan. 20 drawing and won $50,000 on a single ticket sold at a Publix supermarket in Atlanta, the Georgia Lottery said in an email.
The winning numbers were 15, 16, 32, 47, 54 and red Powerball 6, according to the Powerball website. The Power Play multiplier option was 3x.
The lucky player matched four winning numbers and the red Powerball.
They were one of seven $50,000 winners across the U.S., beating odds of 1 in 913,129 to win the third-tier prize, the Georgia Lottery said.
No one won the jackpot, and there were no $2 million winners, though someone in Texas matched all five white ball numbers to score a $1 million prize, results show.
The next Powerball drawing is Jan. 22 with an estimated $31 million jackpot.
