$2 million Powerball ticket sold in Georgia; lottery jackpots growing

Someone in southwest Georgia is a multimillionaire, lottery officials said.

A Powerball ticket sold at a One Stop Food Store in Randolph County is worth $2 million, Georgia Lottery spokeswoman Nia Roberts said.

The store on Blakely Street in Cuthbert sold the winning numbers and the purchaser used Power Play to double the prize, Roberts said.

Winning numbers from the drawing Wednesday night were: 3-9-16-56-60, and the Powerball was 3. The winner has not come forward, but all winners have 180 days to claim their prizes.

The next Mega Millions drawing — with a estimated jackpot of $306 million — is at 11 p.m. Friday and the next Powerball drawing— with an estimated jackpot of $384 million — is at 11 p.m. Saturday.

Players now have a one-in-24 chance of winning a prize.
