Powerball player just misses $418 million jackpot — but still wins big in Georgia
A stop at an Atlanta-area gas station proved lucrative for one lucky Georgia lottery player.
The player won $100,000 after matching four of five numbers in the Powerball drawing Wednesday, March 19, narrowly missing the $418 million jackpot, the Georgia Lottery said.
They would've won $50,000 but spent an extra $1 on the Power Play multiplier to double their prize.
The winning ticket was sold at a Kroger Fuel Center in Marietta, officials said.
The winning numbers Wednesday were 8-11-21-49-59 and Powerball 15, according to the lottery game's website. The Power Play option was 2X.
There were two $2 million winners in Colorado and Texas, but no $1 million winners, results show. The jackpot also went untouched, pushing the grand prize to an estimated $444 million.
Winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim prizes and are encouraged to sign the back of their ticket, the Georgia Lottery said.
The next Powerball drawing is March 22.
Marietta is about a 20-mile drive northwest from downtown Atlanta.
What to know about Powerball
