Instant Games drew in nearly $68 million, and the $336 million dollar Powerball jackpot lured in more than $9 million, its highest weekly sales volume in Georgia Lottery history.

KENO! sales also set a record, although the exact figures were not released.

Cash 3, Cash 4 and instant games also enjoyed their highest sales week of the fiscal year, the release stated.
