Two Powerball tickets worth $50,000 were sold in metro Atlanta, the Georgia Lottery announced Wednesday.

Lotto spokeswoman Nia Roberts said that a ticket sold in Cumming has been claimed, but the buyer of a winning ticket sold in Alpharetta is still out there.

Both buyers missed out on the $250 million jackpot, which has rolled over 13 times.

The winning tickets were sold from the Publix at 980 Birmingham Road in Alpharetta, and the Super Food & Gas (BP) at 1310 Canton Highway in Cumming.
