A Thomaston resident claimed $3 million from the Georgia Lottery on August 7 after playing a $20 scratch-off called 100X THE MONEY (check out our data on the game here). The ticket was sold at Mr. B's at 401 N. Center Street in Thomaston.
100X THE MONEY launched way back in October 2018. Georgia Lottery data still shows three of its 21 $3 million top prizes unclaimed, alongside three of its $100,000 prizes. The game was printed with overall odds of 1 in 3.17 and returns about 79% of sales as prizes, generous by scratch-off standards.
Anyone sitting on an unscratched ticket from an older game should check it against the state's claim deadline rather than assume it is worthless, a point we go through in found an old scratch-off ticket, can you still cash it and how long you have to claim a prize.
The win landed in a heavy week for the state. Georgia scratch-off players claimed $39,585,197 in prizes last week, the Georgia Lottery said. What is currently on shelves, with prizes remaining and scores updated daily, is on our Georgia ValueScore™ rankings.
