Powerball player wins life-changing prize in Georgia. Where was ticket sold?

A Georgia Powerball player was one number shy of the estimated $309 million jackpot — but still netted a huge prize. The lucky player won $1 million after matching five white ball numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing Monday, July 21, according to the Georgia Lottery's website. The winning ticket was sold at a Circle K gas station in Forsyth, a lottery spokesperson told McClatchy News. The winner hadn't come forward as of July 22. It's the latest in a string of big lottery wins for the the Peach State, coming two days after someone netted an $865,050 Fantasy 5 jackpot in the July 19 drawing. The winning ticket, sold at a Publix supermarket in Savannah, matched all five numbers. Last week, a lottery player won a $3 million jackpot playing the 100X The Money scratch-off game, the Georgia Lottery said. The Powerball numbers for July 21 were 8-11-28-33-42 and red Powerball 2, according to the lottery game's website. The Power Play multiplier option was 2x. A California player scored a $678,000 prize in Monday's drawing, results show. There were no $2 million winners, and no one hit the jackpot. The next Powerball drawing is July 23 with an estimated $325 million jackpot. Winners in Georgia have 180 days from the draw date to claim prizes and are encouraged to sign the back of their ticket, the Georgia Lottery said. Forsyth is about a 60-mile drive southeast from downtown Atlanta. What to know about Powerball To score the jackpot in the Powerball, a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball. The odds of scoring the jackpot prize are 1 in 292,201,338. Tickets can be bought on the day of the drawing, but sales times and price vary by state. Drawings are broadcast Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:59 p.m. ET and can be streamed online. Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Seven & i Denies Snubbing Couche-Tard's $46 Billion Takeover Bid

Seven & i Holdings Co. pushed back against Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. 's assertions that it refused to engage in meaningful talks over a potential merger, saying that the Canadian suitor didn't take antitrust concerns seriously enough and doesn't understand how business is conducted in Japan. The operator of Circle K convenience stores 'decided on its own it was easier to walk away,' the special committee of Seven & i's board said in a statement on Tuesday. The 7-Eleven owner was responding to Couche-Tard's 1,500-word missive issued last week explaining that it was ending its pursuit because of a 'calculated campaign of obfuscation and delay.'

3 Big Numbers: An elegy for Couche-Tard's attempted Seven & i buyout

This story was originally published on C-Store Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily C-Store Dive newsletter. 3 Big Numbers is a weekly column that looks at a few key details from around the c-store industry. On Wednesday, Alimentation Couche-Tard sent a letter to Seven & i Holdings announcing it was withdrawing its takeover bid for the international conglomerate. This brought an unceremonious end to what had been a long-running courtship. Circle K parent company Couche-Tard shared some final accusations of bad faith engagement and gave a little more context about the whole saga, adding that it withdrew the bid due to a 'lack of constructive engagement by Seven & i.' Seven & i responded with a short announcement in which it accepted the end of talks, shared vague disappointment in Couche-Tard's 'mischaracterizations' and touted its own ongoing initiatives. And then it was over. In this week's '3 Big Numbers,' we pay our respects to the end of a short-lived era as Couche-Tard bows out of its pursuit of Seven & i. 332 The number of days between Couche-Tard making its first bid for Seven & i and withdrawing from the discussions. Last August, Couche-Tard announced it was pursuing Seven & i. Almost one year later, the Canadian company threw in the towel. A lot has changed in that time. In its response to Couche-Tard's withdrawal, Seven & i noted that 'there have been significant changes in the global economy, exchange rates, and financing markets. As [Alimentation Couche-Tard] noted on its most recent earnings call, conditions in key markets have deteriorated since last year.' With the worry about this deal now in the rearview mirror, both companies can move forward. Seven & i has a number of initiatives in the pipeline it's working on, including taking its North American arm public and improving its food and delivery programs. 23% The gap between Couche-Tard's proposed buyout price per share and the closing price of Seven & i after Wednesday's news. Couche-Tard's President and CEO Alex Miller and Chairman of the Board Alain Bouchard noted in their letter that Couche-Tard had offered 2,600 yen per share for Seven & i. By the time trading on the Tokyo Exchange closed on Thursday, Seven & i's stock price was 2,008 yen per share — around a 23% difference. While it's impossible to know how well the stock will be doing in another year or two, right now the breakdown in talks has left a lot of money on the table for shareholders. It seems like many of them voted with their wallets via the stock market. More than 54 million shares changed hands Thursday on the Japanese exchange, while a normal day's trading doesn't even reach 7 million shares. Trading was even briefly halted during the day. Couche-Tard, meanwhile, actually saw a stock price boost from the news. It's possible that investors were worried about how much benefit the company could wring out of a deal for Seven & i. 100% How much of Seven & i Couche-Tard wanted to purchase. This one sounds obvious, we know. Couche-Tard made a bid for Seven & i, so of course they wanted the whole thing. But in the letter to Seven & i withdrawing from talks, Couche-Tard leaders shared that there were actually two other options on the table. Couche-Tard advanced a proposal that would see it buying 40% of the Japanese operations and all of Seven & i's international operations. Seven & i, meanwhile, suggested a deal where Couche-Tard would get 7-Eleven Inc., the North American branch of the company, and the Japanese retailer would get equity ownership in the Canadian retailer. It's interesting to note that Miller and Bouchard said an agreement for only 7-Eleven Inc. 'would undermine the operational prospects of the combined business.' Seven & i plans to spin off that part of the business in an IPO next year, a move some experts said could clear the way for Couche-Tard to buy just those stores. The company's letter makes that sound a lot less likely. Editor's note: This article was updated to correct the number of days since Couche-Tard's offer for Seven & i.
