One Georgia Lottery player won $150,000 and seven more players won $50,000 in the Dec. 20 Powerball drawing as the jackpot soared to $1.6 billion. The $150,000 ticket was purchased at Express Market, 1465 54th Street in Columbus, and matched four of the five white-ball numbers and the Powerball. The player selected the Power Play option which multiplied the prize from $50,000.
One of the seven $50,000 tickets was purchased on the Georgia Lottery mobile app by a Midland resident according to a press release from Georgia Lottery. The next drawing will be Dec. 22 for an estimated $1.6 billion, the fifth largest in the game’s history.
