ATLANTA — While it may not have been the $560 million jackpot, someone in metro Atlanta woke up Wednesday $10,000 richer.
The Georgia Lottery confirmed to Channel 2 Action News that the $10,000 winning ticket was sold via the Georgia Lottery app and the winner was in the Sandy Springs area.
A single ticket in Illinois won the $560 million jackpot. If the person opts for the cash option, they will see a $264 million lump sum after state and local taxes.
