Somebody bought a $1 million winning Powerball ticket in Decatur on Christmas Day

It was a very merry Christmas for one mystery person out there.

DECATUR, Ga. — Someone in Decatur had a very, very, very merry Christmas.

A $1 million winning Powerball ticket was sold there on Wednesday, Georgia Lottery officials announced. 

According to officials, nobody has yet stepped forward to claim the winning ticket, which carried the five winning numbers of 2-4-16-30-46. 

If it had also matched the Powerball number 20, it would have been worth a jackpot that is now worth $200 million.

The ticket was purchased at the Chevron Food Mart at 2767 E. College Ave., a release said.
