Georgia winner among dozens scoring $1M in Powerball
ATLANTA - A Georgia lottery player is among dozens of people across the country celebrating big wins after the latest Powerball drawing produced multiple millionaires and two jackpot winners.
What we know:
Two tickets sold in Kansas and Indiana matched all the numbers to split the $143 million jackpot from the April 29 drawing, which carried a cash option of about $65.2 million. While those winners claimed the top prize, nearly 90 others across 20 states also walked away with major winnings.
Among them was one Georgia player who won $1 million by matching all five white balls. Two additional players in Georgia each won $50,000 prizes. In total, 62 tickets nationwide won $1 million and 27 others secured $2 million prizes by adding the Power Play option.
The winning numbers for the drawing were 3, 19, 35, 51, 67, with a Powerball of 15. The jackpot now resets to an estimated $20 million for the next drawing on May 2.
