Lottery player checks app, learns they’ve won $1,000 a week for life in Georgia
A player won $1,000 for life after buying a lottery ticket, Georgia officials said.
A Jonesboro resident bought a Cash4Life ticket through the Georgia Lottery mobile app and matched all five winning numbers – 4, 32, 44, 47, and 54 — in the Oct. 22 drawing, according to an Oct. 26 news release by the Georgia Lottery.
Instead of choosing the weekly cash option, the winner opted for the $1 million lump-sum payment on Oct. 23, officials said.
Odds of winning the $1,000 week for life prize in the Cash4Life game are 1 in 7,282,016. The game offers a jackpot of $1,000 a day for life, with odds of 1 in 21,846,048.
Jonesboro is about a 20-mile drive south from Atlanta.
