Metro Atlantans rack up $10M, 2.5M Georgia Lottery wins

Two Georgia Lottery scratch-off tickets worth millions were sold recently in Snellville and Suwanee in Gwinnett County.

G5 Family Partnership LLC claimed a $10 million top prize from the instant game $10 Million Cash Spectacular, according to lottery officials. The partnership bought the winning ticket from the Chevron at 310 Peachtree Industrial Blvd. in Suwanee.

Mathew Simon, of Grayson, claimed a $2.5 million top prize at the Georgia Lottery District Office in Duluth. His winning 21 Black Series game ticket was bought at the CITGO Food Mart at 3200 Highway 78 in Snellville.

And a Douglasville woman won the $745,710 jackpot prize from matching all five winning numbers from the Oct. 1 Fantasy 5 drawing.
