Luck struck again in Northeast Georgia when a ticket sold in Commerce won $1 million in Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing. According to the Georgia Lottery Commission, the ticket was sold at Commerce Tobacco Outlet at 407 South Elm Street.
Commerce wasn’t the only lucky spot in the state. Another $1 million ticket was sold at Pharr Food & Gas in Atlanta. Both players matched all five white balls drawn.
The winning numbers were 03, 16, 29, 61, 69. The Powerball was 22, and the multiplier was 2X.
There was no jackpot winner. The Powerball jackpot has now surged to a record-breaking $1.7 billion, the third-largest in U.S. lottery history.
The next drawing is Saturday, Sept. 6.
The Commerce win follows several other recent lottery windfalls in Northeast Georgia. A $3 million prize-winning ticket was sold in Dahlonega in July. Also, this summer, two Gainesville residents became millionaires with their Mega Millions and scratch-off ticket wins.
