A lucky Georgia Powerball player has a winning ticket worth $1 million from the drawing on Saturday, April 27.

The winning numbers were 9, 30, 53, 55, 62, and Powerball number 23. The winning ticket was purchased from the Chevron Food Shop located at 4341 Roswell Rd, Atlanta. There were no jackpot winners in Saturday's drawing, and no one matched 5 plus the Power Play. One other player from New Jersey matched 5 balls to win $1 million. Nine players won prizes of $50,000, and two of them with Power Play had their prizes increased to $150,000.

The next Powerball drawing will take place tonight at 11 p.m. Eastern time. The jackpot has rolled over for an estimated prize of $165 million. That's a cash value of $74.9 million.
