The winning numbers were 2-15-27-29-39 with a Powerball of 20, Georgia Lottery and Powerball websites. The jackpot amount is estimated to be $478.2 million before taxes, the website states.
The cash option is $230.5 million after taxes, according to Channel 2 Action News. It is the first time Georgia has had a Powerball jackpot winner since 2016, when a winning ticket was sold at Publix in Brookhaven.
