Channel 2 Action News has reached out to the Georgia Lottery to confirm where the winning ticket was sold.

This isn’t the first big prize that a Georgia ticket has won this year. During a drawing in September, the Publix store off Birmingham Road in Alpharetta sold a $2 million ticket in September and an online lottery winner in Cobb County took home a $1 million prize.

If you do win the jackpot or any other lottery prize, how do you claim your winnings in Georgia?

Georgia Lottery said any prizes less than $600 can be claimed at any of its retailers; however, prizes over $600 must be claimed at the lottery headquarters or district offices or have the payment mailed to the winner.

Winners of prizes bigger than $600 must fill out a winner claim form and have a valid government-issued photo ID with a social security card.
