When someone wins the lottery, especially if it's a life-changing sum like $1 million or more, most winners won't hesitate to rush to lottery headquarters and claim their prize. However, life can get busy and lead to some winners forgetting to check their tickets to see if they hit the jackpot. If you recently purchased a lottery ticket in Georgia, you may want to check your numbers now as two lucky winners in the Peach State matched enough numbers in Saturday's (March 29) Powerball drawing to each score a $1 million prize.
According to the Powerball website, the lucky tickets sold in Georgia were one of five winning tickets to mach five numbers called during Saturday's drawing to win the $1 million prize. Tickets sold in Ohio, Oregon and Texas also landed the $1 million win.
If you think you may have purchased the ticket, now's the time to check to see if you won. These are the lucky numbers that helped the to-be-determined winner score their huge prize:
Numbers: 7 - 11 - 21 - 53 - 61
Powerball: 2
Power Play: 3x
One lucky player managed to match all six numbers during Saturday's drawing, scoring the $526.5 million jackpot. The jackpot has since reset to a $20 million ahead of the drawing on Monday (March 31).
