Lady Luck smiled on four Georgia players as the drawings rolled out favorable numbers, padding pockets and undoubtedly changing lives. Last Wednesday proved to be a day of windfalls across the state with winning tickets for Fantasy 5, 100X The Money Quick Win, and Powerball being sold to fortunate bettors.
Two winners emerged from the Fantasy 5 game, bagging a handsome sum of $820,337 each. The winning numbers 04-10-14-18-29, proved to be a fortunate sequence for the ticket holders. The tickets were bought at two different locations, Sandfly Convenience in Savannah, and Roswell Road Food Mart in Marietta, as reported by WJCL. Remarkably, the success didn't end there for Georgia's gamblers, this past Saturday was a veritable shower of wins.
Over in Blairsville, the 100X The Money Quick Win added another individual to the winner's list. The player, who bought their ticket at Nottely Food Mart on Ivylog Road, can now claim $499,853 from this progressive jackpot instant game. A notable win by any measure, and a continuation of Georgia's sudden streak of lottery luck.
The Powerball also saw a Marietta local walk away richer by $100,000, courtesy of numbers that aligned save one. The ticket, which matched four white-ball numbers and the Powerball number, was purchased at Kroger on Johnson Ferry Road. While initially worth $50,000, the win was doubled owing to the Power Play option, delivering a six-figure windfall as noted by FOX 5 Atlanta. All this excitement builds up to the next Powerball drawing set for today, boasting an estimated jackpot of an eye-popping $444 million.
Winners have 180 days starting from the drawing date to claim their prizes, and while the Georgia Lottery yields benefits for the lucky few, its proceeds continue to aid educational initiatives around the state.
