Last week was a very successful week for players of the Georgia lottery as several players won large jackpots. The largest won was $1 million followed by a $500,000 win and two $200,000 plus wins. These wins should lottery sales going through the roof in Georgia as people hope to claim the same success as these lucky winners.

Robert Baker Jr. purchased the 15th Anniversary Millionaire Extravaganza ticket and then scratched half off when he got into his car. The other half was scratched off at his work and that is when he realized he had just won $1 million. Baker plans to pay his bills and invest a good deal of his winnings.

James Whitley of North Georgia claimed the $500,000 prize while playing the $500,000 Hold’em Poker game and Ann Lundin matched all five numbers in the May 8th Fantasy 5 drawing so she earned $244,783 for her win.

Donizete de Jesus Dalto was even more successful as he won two jackpots. He was one of the five who matched the Fantasy 5 drawing so he earned $227,128 and then he won $244,783 when he got the next drawing numbers right.
