Augusta – A local lottery player has won an impressive $50,000 in the latest Powerball drawing held on Wednesday night. This significant win was achieved by correctly matching four out of the five white-ball numbers along with the Powerball.
The winning ticket was purchased at Express Lottery, located at 3252 Wrightsboro Road in Augusta, marking yet another notable lottery victory in the area.
This recent Powerball success is part of a growing trend of lottery winnings in the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA). Just weeks before, two players in the same region won $10,000 each while playing the “Fishing for Gold” Diggi game through the Georgia lottery app. Additionally, a player won a remarkable $1 million in the Georgia Lottery game “50X The Money,” with the lucky ticket purchased at Quick Stop Hephzibah, located at 2504 Georgia Highway 88.
Another exciting win that caught the attention of the CSRA community was a $100,000 Powerball ticket sold at Pick N Pay on Tobacco Road in Hephzibah. This ticket matched four out of the five white-ball numbers plus the Powerball and benefitted from the Power Play multiplier, amplifying the prize amount. The winning numbers for this ticket, drawn on July 2, were 7, 19, 21, 54, and 63, with a Powerball of 21.
As excitement builds around lottery games in the area, the next Powerball drawing is scheduled for July 5, featuring an estimated jackpot of $190 million. Lottery enthusiasts have much to look forward to, especially in light of recent wins across the state.
Lottery winnings have not been confined to Powerball alone. In Georgia, recent players have celebrated several notable triumphs. A player recently secured a substantial $2 million top prize from the “Xtreme Money” scratch-off ticket, with the ticket purchased at a Publix supermarket on Highway 5 in Douglasville. Furthermore, another player matched all five white-ball numbers in the July 21 Powerball drawing, taking home a $1 million prize, with the winning ticket bought at Circle K on Harold G. Clarke Parkway in Forsyth. The corresponding winning numbers for this July 21 drawing were 08, 11, 28, 33, and 42, alongside a red Powerball of 02, which included a 2X Power Play multiplier, adding to the excitement of the event.
The surge in lottery wins comes at a time when many Georgia residents have expressed their concerns regarding elevated power bills during July. This spike in utility costs is largely attributed to the state experiencing its hottest month since 2016.
Overall, the string of recent lottery wins in Georgia, particularly within the CSRA region, has brought a wave of hope and enthusiasm to local players. As more residents engage with lottery games, the anticipation for the next Powerball drawing continues to grow.
