Two lottery players win $189,000 jackpot in Georgia. Where were tickets sold?
Two lottery players pressed their luck — and both netted top prizes in Georgia.
The lucky winners hit the Fantasy 5 jackpot, each winning $189,714 in the drawing Thursday, Aug. 7, according to the Georgia Lottery’s website.
The tickets, one sold in Marietta and the other purchased online by a Sandy Springs resident, matched all five numbers — 4-7-12-28-37.
Officials didn’t say if either winner has come forward as of Aug. 8.
McClatchy News reached out to the Georgia Lottery for more information and was awaiting a response.
Both players beat odds of 1 in 850,668 to snag the jackpot prize, according to the lottery’s website.
Additional information wasn’t immediately available.
Winners in Georgia have 180 days to claim prizes in draw games and are encouraged to sign the back of their tickets, the lottery’s website says.
Marietta is about a 20-mile drive northwest from downtown Atlanta.
