Someone in Georgia is a millionaire after playing Powerball, lottery officials say.
The $1 million Powerball ticket was purchased at Shiv Discount Corner in Savannah, a Georgia Lottery spokesperson told McClatchy News. The player matched all five white balls in the Feb. 7 drawing to win the million-dollar prize.
The winning numbers on Wednesday were 12, 21, 62, 67, 69 and red Powerball 17, according to Powerball’s website.
There were no winning $2 million tickets in the latest drawing and no one hit the jackpot, which grew to an estimated $229 million.
Georgia Lottery officials haven’t said if the $1 million winner has come forward to claim their prize.
The next Powerball drawing is set for Saturday, Feb. 10, with an estimated jackpot of $248 million, according to the game’s website.
