Georgia Lottery opens Concourse T location at Atlanta airport

There's now another way to pass time while waiting for a flight at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport: Buying lotto tickets.

The Georgia Lottery has opened a store on Concourse T at the Atlanta airport, its first location past security.

Since 2006, there have been Georgia Lottery kiosks in the domestic terminal pre-security area, near Terminal North and Terminal South baggage claim. Those two locations combined make the airport the No. 2 retailer in the state for lottery sales.

Georgia Lottery says the new Concourse T location allows it to reach passengers connecting in Atlanta -- who make up about 2/3 of total passengers.
