Winning $1M Powerball ticket sold in Gainesville
Someone in Gainesville is walking around with a $1 million Powerball ticket in their pocket, Georgia Lottery officials said Thursday.
The ticket was purchased at the BP Food Mart in the 3100 block of Frontage Road. The winning numbers in Wednesday’s drawing were 3-32-34-42-61, and the Powerball was 7. The ticket matched the first five numbers.
Nobody has come forward to claim the million-dollar prize. Georgia Powerball winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim prizes.
Winners of more than $600 can cash in at the Georgia Lottery's Atlanta headquarters or at any satellite office. That includes the Duluth office in Gwinnett County located at 1680 Executive Drive South.
Saturday’s Powerball jackpot is an estimated $350 million to a single winner. Watch the drawing just before the Channel 2 Action News Nightbeat at 11 p.m.
