Sorry, Georgia Lottery players, but a single Powerball ticket sold in Lexington, S.C., is worth an estimated $400 million after matching all six numbers in Wednesday night’s drawing.

Two Georgia Lottery players matched the first five numbers – 7, 10, 22, 32 and 35, but not the Power Ball of 19, and won $1 million each.

Those $1 million tickets were sold at a lottery kiosk at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and at a Golden Pantry convenience store in Watkinsville.

With Wednesday night’s win, the Powerball jackpot for Saturday was reset to $40 million.

If you still have dreams of winning a huge lottery jackpot, the top prize in Friday’s Mega Millions drawing is $145 million.
