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.

Powerball winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim prizes in Georgia.

If you win the Powerball jackpot, you have two options: the full $250 million jackpot prize paid over 29 years in 30 graduated payments or the lump sum options that would net $156 million.
