That ticket was purchased at Texaco Food Mart, 1299 N. Cherokee Road in Social Circle. The other won $50,000 and was purchased by a Stone Mountain resident on the Georgia Lottery mobile app. The next Powerball drawing will be Sept. 19 for $298 million.
Another player hit the jackpot for $125,000 in the Sept. 16 Fantasy 5 drawing. The ticket, purchased at Kroger, 6055 Old National Highway in College Park, matched all five winning numbers which were 11-17-18-19-21.
An Atlanta resident won $339,943 playing the Elephant King Jackpots Diggi Game on the mobile app and a Smyrna resident won $50,000 playing the Wheel of Fortune Spin + Win Diggi Game on the Georgia Lottery website, both on Sept. 17.
