Georgia Powerball Ticket Wins $2 Million

There were no grand prize winners in the recent Powerball and Mega Millions drawings, with the Powerball jackpot now estimated at $144 million and the Mega Millions jackpot rising to $453 million. In Georgia, a Powerball ticket won $2 million after matching five numbers and the Power Play option in a previous drawing. The ticket was sold at Truby Chevron in Lawrenceville, marking a historical moment in the state's lottery history. Winners can typically choose between annuity payments or a lump sum, with most opting for the latter. Meanwhile, the largest recent Powerball prize in Georgia was split between two winners, each receiving over $230 million before taxes.
