CLEVELAND, Ga. — A Cleveland resident is starting February with a seven-figure surprise after winning $1.5 million on a Georgia Lottery scratch-off ticket.
The winning ticket came from the $1,500,000 Max game and was purchased at Coastal Food Mart on Highway 52 in Gillsville. Georgia Lottery officials said the prize was claimed February 6.
The Cleveland win capped off a big week for lottery players across the state. In just one week, scratch-off games paid out more than $42 million in prizes statewide.
Luck struck elsewhere in Georgia as well.
A Powerball ticket worth $1 million was sold at a Publix in Loganville after matching all five white ball numbers in the February 7 drawing. The next Powerball drawing is set for February 9, with an estimated jackpot of $113 million.
