ATLANTA – Georgia Lottery players have a chance at an estimated $126 million in winnings
with Saturday’s Powerball jackpot drawing. It only takes $1 to win big.
The game offers two payment options: the jackpot prize paid over 29 years in 30 graduated
payments or the cash option, which is approximately $61 million.
Any Georgia Lottery retailer who sells a winning Powerball jackpot ticket can earn the $25,000
retailer incentive bonus payment. If more than one winning jackpot ticket is sold in Georgia, the
retailers selling the winning tickets will share the $25,000 retailer incentive bonus.
As with all other Georgia Lottery games, proceeds from Powerball will benefit education in the
state of Georgia.
Since its first year, the Georgia Lottery Corporation has returned more than $12.3 billion to the
state of Georgia for education. All Georgia Lottery profits go to pay for specific educational
programs, including Georgia’s HOPE Scholarship Program and Georgia’s Pre-K Program. More
than 1.3 million students have received HOPE, and more than 1.1 million 4-year-olds have
attended the statewide, voluntary prekindergarten program.
