Powerball player wins life-changing prize in Georgia. Where was ticket sold?
A Georgia Powerball player was one number shy of the estimated $309 million jackpot — but still netted a huge prize. The lucky player won $1 million after matching five white ball numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing Monday, July 21, according to the Georgia Lottery's website. The winning ticket was sold at a Circle K gas station in Forsyth, a lottery spokesperson told McClatchy News. The winner hadn't come forward as of July 22. It's the latest in a string of big lottery wins for the the Peach State, coming two days after someone netted an $865,050 Fantasy 5 jackpot in the July 19 drawing. The winning ticket, sold at a Publix supermarket in Savannah, matched all five numbers. Last week, a lottery player won a $3 million jackpot playing the 100X The Money scratch-off game, the Georgia Lottery said. The Powerball numbers for July 21 were 8-11-28-33-42 and red Powerball 2, according to the lottery game's website. The Power Play multiplier option was 2x. A California player scored a $678,000 prize in Monday's drawing, results show. There were no $2 million winners, and no one hit the jackpot. The next Powerball drawing is July 23 with an estimated $325 million jackpot. Winners in Georgia have 180 days from the draw date to claim prizes and are encouraged to sign the back of their ticket, the Georgia Lottery said. Forsyth is about a 60-mile drive southeast from downtown Atlanta. What to know about Powerball To score the jackpot in the Powerball, a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball. The odds of scoring the jackpot prize are 1 in 292,201,338. Tickets can be bought on the day of the drawing, but sales times and price vary by state.

Three South Florida places from Kendall to Sunrise sold winning lottery tickets
Of Monday's three big money Florida Lottery draw games — Powerball, Cash4Life, Fantasy 5 — only one didn't have a jackpot winner. That would be Powerball, which will have a $325 million jackpot Wednesday. One of the Cash4Life jackpots, $1,000 a week for life, was won by a player in New York. For the second time in a week, hitting the midday Fantasy 5 numbers jackpot turned out to be twice as lucrative as hitting the evening draw numbers. During Monday's early trip to Sunrise's University Liquor, 2400 N. University Dr., somebody played 6, 14, 21, 31 and 35. That quintet of choices was worth $50,722. The evening draw paid off for those who feel three is a magic number: 3, 6, 9, 12 and 33. That combination was on four tickets, each worth $26,228: West Kendall's Sabor Tropical Supermarket, 8700 SW 137th Ct.; a Quick Pick ticket from Bravo Supermarket, 6767 Pembroke Rd. in Pembroke Pines; a Dunedin Publix, 1491 Main St.; and the 7-Eleven at 3801 Murrell Rd. in Rockledge. These tickets must be cashed at a Florida Lottery office, which are open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Appointments can be made, but aren't required. The district office closest to the above Miami-Dade and Broward locations is at 14621 Oak Ln. in Miami Lakes and can be reached at MIARC@ and 305-364-3080.
