2 $1M Powerball Tickets Sold In Georgia: Check Your Numbers

ATLANTA, GA -- If you're a lottery player in Georgia, you'd better check your numbers. Two tickets sold in metro Atlanta are worth $1 million, lottery officials said.

Georgia isn't the state that won Wednesday's $759 million Powerball jackpot, which took place in Massachusetts -- but two lucky people from here have a pretty cool consolation.

If you didn't win this go-around, take heed, a $40 million drawing is set for Saturday.
