March has started with a lucky streak for Georgia Lottery players with several jackpots and top-prize wins.
Two players became millionaires thanks to Georgia Lottery scratch-off games. The first is a player who won the top prize of $3 million playing 100X The Money at Fastee Food at 1389 Pio Nono Ave in Macon. The player claimed on Feb. 28.
An Atlanta resident also won a million-dollar prize playing 2nd Edition Billionaire Club at Glenwood Food Mart, 1865 Glenwood Ave SE in Atlanta. The player claimed on Feb. 28 and selected the lump sum cash option for $535,398.06. In total, $48,372,307 in prizes were awarded to winners from Georgia Lottery scratch-off games last week.
Two players hit the jackpot playing Fantasy 5 in as many days. A player in Marietta won the jackpot for $203,180 in the March 1 drawing. The lucky ticket matched all five numbers and was purchased at the RaceTrac at 2491 Macland Road SW in Marietta. Another player won the jackpot for $125,000 in the March 2 drawing with a ticket purchased at QuikTrip at 3747 Lawrenceville Highway in Lawrenceville.
Additionally, another player won $10,000 in the Feb. 28 Mega Millions drawing by matching four of the five winning numbers and the Mega Ball. That lucky ticket was purchased at Friendly Express at 940 GA Highway 122 West in Hahira. The next Mega Millions drawing is set for Tuesday, March 4 for $215 million.
