Powerball jackpot leaps to $700M; $100,000 prize won in Sardis, $50,000 won at Macon Publix
ATLANTA – The Powerball jackpot has grown to an estimated $700 million ($375.7 million cash value) for the Saturday, Feb. 4 drawing. If a player wins Saturday’s jackpot, it will rank as the sixth-largest Powerball jackpot and the 10th-largest U.S. lottery jackpot.
The Powerball jackpot rolled after no player matched all six numbers drawn Wednesday night – white balls 31, 43, 58, 59, 66 and Powerball 9. The Power Play multiplier was 2X.
Two Georgia Lottery players won big in Wednesday’s drawing.
A $100,000 ticket was purchased at Jet Food Store #0002, 931 Charles Perry Ave., Sardis. The prize was doubled from $50,000 to $100,000 with the 2X Power Play multiplier.
One $50,000 ticket was sold in Macon at Publix Super Market #1263, 5451 Bowman Road.
Players are reminded to check their tickets for one of the nine ways to win.
Powerball winners in Georgia have 180 days from the draw date to claim prizes.
Powerball tickets can be purchased at Georgia Lottery retailers statewide. Georgia residents with a Georgia mailing address, who are located in Georgia at the time of purchase, can purchase Powerball tickets via the Georgia Lottery app or online at www.galottery.com.
