The $1 million winner bought a Georgia Lottery ticket in North Georgia, but hasn’t yet come forward, officials say.

Sunoco Food Mart at 2235 Barnesville Highway in Thomaston sold the jackpot Fantasy 5 ticket.

Winning numbers from the Nov. 17 Fantasy 5 drawing were: 8-13-14-16-39. The winner has 180 days from the draw date to claim the prize.

Two South Georgia winners who did come forward are sharing a $1 million prize, lottery officials said.

Fast Stop at 309 E. Third Street in Donalsonville sold the winning ticket, which was claimed Friday at the Georgia Lottery’s Tifton District Office.

Donalsonville is about 220 miles southwest of Atlanta.
