In Georgia, a Powerball player tried their luck and won a transformational lottery prize. In the drawing on Saturday, August 24, a winner in Atlanta won $150,000 after matching four numbers and the Powerball, just missing the $35 million grand prize, according to the Georgia Lottery. By adding $1 to the Power Play multiplier, the fortunate player tripled their winnings even though they would have otherwise won $50,000. It was confirmed by officials that the winning ticket was purchased via the Georgia Lottery mobile app.
