Two individuals in Georgia have bagged $150,000 from the Powerball lottery, pushing the jackpot over the $1 billion mark.
Powerball Winners in Georgia Remain Anonymous as Jackpot Soars to $1.1 Billion
The excitement is building as the next Powerball drawing approaches, scheduled for Monday, Sep. 1. With an estimated jackpot of $1.1 billion, the anticipation is palpable.
In the last drawing on Saturday, August 30, two lucky tickets worth $150,000 each were purchased in Georgia. However, the identities of these winners have not been publicly disclosed, as per the Georgia Lottery's policy.
Five other tickets in Georgia matched four white numbers and the red Powerball, but did not have the Power Play. Had these tickets included the Power Play, they would have been worth $50,000 each. As it stands, each ticket without the Power Play was worth $50,000.
Unfortunately, there is still no jackpot winner for the Powerball drawing. The winning Powerball numbers were 3-18-22-27-33 and the red Powerball was 17. The tickets that matched these numbers and had the 3x "Power Play" on would have been worth significantly more.
Winners in Georgia have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prize. With the jackpot now at an astronomical $1.1 billion, the race is on to find the next lucky winner.
As the search continues, the Powerball jackpot continues to grow, offering a life-changing opportunity for someone. Don't forget to buy your tickets for the next drawing and who knows, you could be the one to strike it rich!
