A Warner Robins resident won the top prize playing the Big Georgia Raffle scratch-off ticket in the Georgia Lottery.
The $2 million winning ticket was bought at the Hop In convenience store at 1104 Ga. 96 in the Kathleen community of Warner Robins, according to a Georgia Lottery news release.
The winnings were claimed Tuesday.
Proceeds from scratch-off games as well as all Georgia Lottery games benefit education.
Since lottery sales in Georgia began on June 29, 1993, the Georgia Lottery Corp. has contributed more than $30.6 billion to the state for education, according to the news release.
Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.
