Powerball player just misses $175M jackpot, but still wins big prize in Georgia
The lucky player won $100,000 after matching four white ball numbers and the Powerball number in the July 2 drawing, narrowly missing the estimated $175 million grand prize, results show.
The winning ticket was sold at a Pick N Pay convenience store in Hephzibah, a Georgia Lottery spokesperson told McClatchy News.
The player would've won $50,000 but spent an extra dollar on the multiplier option, doubling their prize. Officials didn't say if the ticket has been claimed as of July 3.
The Powerball numbers on July 2 were 7-19-21-54-63 and red Powerball 21, according to the lottery game's website. The Power Play option was 2x.
There were no $1 million or $2 million winners, and no one hit the jackpot, results show.
It's the latest big lottery win for the Peach State, coming nearly a week after two Fantasy 5 players each won a jackpot worth more than $1 million, McClatchy News reported.
One ticket was purchased online, and the other was sold at a Raceway Station in Valdosta, lottery officials said.
The next Powerball drawing is July 5 with an estimated $190 million jackpot.
Hephzibah is about a 20-mile drive southwest from downtown Augusta.
What to know about Powerball
