A visit to Kwik Stop in Athens resulted in a $4 million prize on Georgia's 200X The Money
A Georgia Lottery player claimed a $4 million top prize on Monday from a 200X The Money ticket bought at Kwik Stop Food Mart, 1880 Highway 29 North in Athens. The winner remained anonymous.
The winner skipped the scheduled annuity payments and took the lump-sum cash option of $2,028,082, according to the Georgia Lottery.
The timing suggests this was the final top prize. 200X The Money was printed with three $4 million prizes, and the lottery's prize list on Saturday evening, September 19, showed one top prize still out there. Two days later this ticket was claimed. Georgia has not posted a fresh count since its website/app revamp over the weekend, so the official tally has yet to catch up.
| Prize | Printed | Left as of Sept. 19 |
|---|---|---|
| $4,000,000 | 3 | 1 |
| $10,000 | 12 | 3 |
| $5,000 | 352 | 60 |
| $1,000 | 647 | 118 |
| $25 (break-even) | 485,746 | 86,400 |
The game has been on sale since August 2025 and is well into its print run. Better than 80% of its $25 prizes had already been cashed by Saturday, and just three $10,000 prizes remained. With about 4.86 million tickets printed, each one carried about a 1 in 1.6 million chance at the top prize.
At $25 a ticket it sits in an odd price slot, and it trails its neighbors there. It returns 75.5% of sales as prizes, against 80.1% for Super-Sized Bucks Power 25X, Georgia's top-scoring $25 game. 200X The Money scores 55.2 on our ValueScore™, last of the state's four $25 tickets, a ranking that sinks further once the top prize is gone for good.
Georgia scratch-off players claimed more than $38.2 million in prizes last week, the lottery said.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where was the $4 million 200X The Money ticket sold?
At Kwik Stop Food Mart, 1880 Highway 29 North in Athens, Georgia. The prize was claimed September 21, 2026, and the winner took the lump-sum cash option of $2,028,082. The Georgia Lottery did not name the winner.
Are there any $4 million prizes left on 200X The Money?
Probably not. The game was printed with three. Georgia Lottery data from the evening of September 19 showed one unclaimed, and this ticket was claimed two days later, so it was most likely the last. The lottery has not published an updated count since its website relaunch.
Why was the cash option only about half of $4 million?
The $4 million figure is the total of scheduled payments over time. The lump sum pays the discounted value up front, and on this prize it came to $2,028,082, or 50.7%. Withholding comes out of that amount, not out of $4 million.
