WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — A lucky player won big at a Central Georgia gas station this past week, according to a press release from the Georgia Lottery.

The lottery announced that a player won $2.5 million from a Millionaire Jumbo Bucks scratcher ticket at the Lo – Lo Cigarette Outlet on Russell Parkway in Warner Robins.

According to the lottery, the player claimed their winnings on Friday. The press release from the Georgia Lottery did not name the lucky winner.
