@winnerineverysense: Someone in Georgia woke up this morning as a new multimillionaire and the largest ever Georgia Lottery winner. A single Powerball ticket purchased in Buford matched all six numbers drawn last night to win a jackpot worth $478.2 million. The jackpot has a cash value of $230.6 million. Quick Mart, located at n Buford, sold the lucky Quik Pik ticket. The winning numbers for the Wednesday, Oct. 23 Powerball drawing were: 2-15-27-29-39 and the Powerball was 20. The Power Play multiplier was 2X. Georgia’s lucky ticket holder will have the choice between an annuitized prize of $478.2 million or a lump sum payment of $230.6 million. Both prize options are before taxes. If the winner selects the annuity option, they will receive one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments. This is the highest single payout in Georgia Lottery history, surpassing the previous record held by a Mega Millions winner from Stone Mountain, who claimed half of a $648 million jackpot and was awarded a cash option of over $173 million before taxes.
