ATLANTA – A winning Georgia Lottery ticket worth $400,000 was sold in Atlanta. Pharr Food & Gas, located at 345 Pharr Road N.E., sold a $400,000 top prize from the instant game 20X The Money.
The winner, Janice Harris of Atlanta, claimed her prize recently at Georgia Lottery headquarters in Atlanta.
Harris, 68, celebrated her birthday earlier this month and is retired from the U.S. Postal Service.
“I’ll pay off some bills,” she shared. “More than likely I’ll work with a charity that helps children.”
