Two people recently became millionaires after purchasing lottery tickets in metro Atlanta and North Georgia.

While playing the “Xtreme Money” scratcher, one Georgia player won the top prize of $2 million. The ticket was purchased at the Publix at 3316 Bill Arp Road in Douglasville.

The player claimed their prize Tuesday.

Another scratch-off player won $3 million on the “100X The Money” game and claimed their prize Friday. That ticket was purchased at a store attached to a Chevron gas station at 1724 Morrison Moore Parkway in Dahlonega.

The odds of winning the jackpot with the “Xtreme Money” scratcher are 1 in 1.6 million, and 1 in 3 million for the “100X The Money” game.

Just last week, Georgia Lottery players claimed $39,464,258 in scratch-off winnings, officials said.

Georgia is one of the few states that allows lottery winners to remain anonymous. The jackpot numbers reflect pretax amounts.
