Two Powerball players scored big wins in the Peach State, according to the Georgia Lottery.

Someone in Suwanee won $150,000 after matching four numbers and the Powerball with the Power Play option in the July 10 drawing, lottery officials confirmed to McClatchy News.

The lucky ticket was purchased using Georgia Lottery’s mobile app.

The player normally would’ve won $50,000 but spent an extra $1 on the Power Play option, tripling their prize.

Another winning ticket worth $50,000 was sold at a Quik Trip in Ellenwood, the Georgia Lottery said.

The winning Powerball numbers were 7, 11, 12, 27, 46 and red Powerball 26, according to the lottery game’s website. The Power Play option was 3X.

There were two $1 million winners in Massachusetts and Washington, though no one snagged the lottery game’s $40 million grand prize, results showed.

The next Powerball drawing is July 13 with an estimated $54 million jackpot.

What to know about Powerball

To score the jackpot in the Powerball, a player must match all five white balls and the red Powerball.

The odds of scoring the jackpot prize are 1 in 292,201,338.

Tickets can be bought on the day of the drawing, but sales times and price vary by state.

Drawings are broadcast Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:59 p.m. ET and can be streamed online.

Powerball is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
