Two lottery players win $1 million prizes on scratch-off tickets in Georgia
Two Georgia lottery players scratched their tickets to reveal life-changing prizes.
The lucky players each won $1 million on scratch-off games, beating great odds to snag the top prizes, the Georgia Lottery said in a July 29 news release.
An Axson resident claimed their winnings July 28 after hitting the jackpot on a $30 Millionaire Maker scratcher game sold at Guthrie's Food Mart in Willacoochee, officials said. The winner chose the lump sum option, taking home $505,685 after taxes.
The second player, from Decatur, turned their $10 Lucky 7 Multiplier into a seven-figure prize. They bought the winning scratch-off at a Chevron station in Decatur and claimed their prize July 28, the lottery said.
Additional information wasn't immediately available.
In all, Georgia lottery players won $41,347,129 in prizes on scratch-off games last week, officials said.
Winners in Georgia have 90 days to claim prizes on instant tickets and are encouraged to come forward 'soon after purchasing them,' the lottery's website says.
