Macon resident wins nearly $150K in online Georgia Lottery game
A Macon resident was a big lottery winner Wednesday, according to a news release from the Georgia Lottery.
The resident, who was not named, hit a $145,131 jackpot while playing 50X The Money Quick Win on the Georgia Lottery website.
“Quick Win games are instant play, instant win games that share a rolling progressive jackpot and are available at Georgia Lottery retailers and online,” the Georgia Lottery said in a news release.
That six-figure payout was not the biggest lottery win in recent days. A player who purchased a 200X The Money scratch-off ticket in Stockbridge won $4 million, according to the Georgia Lottery.
“The winner claimed their prize on Oct. 14 and they selected the cash option for $2,028,082,” the Georgia Lottery said in a news release. “Last week alone, Georgia Lottery players claimed $41,324,421 in winnings from scratchers.”
All Georgia Lottery games provide funding for education in Georgia, the Georgia Lottery says.
