Two Powerball players just miss $127 million jackpot, but still win big in Georgia
Two Georgia Powerball players snagged big prizes in the lottery game’s latest drawing.
The lucky winners were a number shy of the estimated $127 million jackpot, but each won $50,000 after matching four numbers and the Powerball in the July 1 drawing, according to the Georgia Lottery.
The winning tickets were purchased on the Georgia Lottery mobile app by residents in Comer and Stockbridge, officials confirmed.
The winning numbers on Monday were 5, 9, 32, 39, 55 and red Powerball 9, according to the lottery game’s website. The Power Play option was 2X.
There were no $2 million winners, and no one snagged the grand prize, results show.
The next Powerball drawing is July 3 with an estimated $138 million jackpot.
