Powerball drawing: Here are 6 Ga. locations that sold tickets that won $50,000

ATLANTA — The single ticket that won the $1.76 billion Powerball Jackpot was not sold in Georgia. Instead, a lucky winner in California claimed the second-largest prize in the lottery’s history.

While it wasn’t the jackpot prize, a few people in Georgia woke up with a nice payout from Wednesday’s night drawing.

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.
