Georgia Lottery Player Wins $1 Million from Scratch-Off Ticket in Acworth
A lucky Georgia Lottery player has claimed a $1 million prize from a scratch-off ticket. The winner purchased the ticket at a Shell Food Mart in Acworth before collecting their winnings on Thursday.
The winning ticket was bought at the Shell Food Mart off Baker Road NW in Acworth. The player matched the top prize on a Jackpots Galore scratch-off game.
The prize was officially claimed on Thursday. Georgia Lottery funds from such wins support the state's HOPE scholarship and pre-kindergarten programmes.
Exact figures on major jackpot winners from scratch-off tickets since 2020 remain unclear. Official records from the Georgia Lottery would be needed for precise statistics.
The $1 million win adds to the lottery's contributions to education funding in Georgia. Players can continue buying tickets at authorised retailers, including the Shell Food Mart in Acworth.
