Georgian just one number away from winning $327M Powerball jackpot

DALLAS, Ga. — A Georgia resident came so close to winning the Powerball jackpot, but fell just one number short.

Georgia Lottery officials say that in Wednesday’s drawing for a $327 million jackpot, someone in Dallas matched four of the five white balls and the Powerball.

For matching all but one of the white balls and getting the Powerball correct, that player walked away with $50,000, which is still a pretty good payday.

No one nationwide won the jackpot, so it’s grown to $348 million for Saturday night’s drawing.
