Staff at the Quik Mart along Buford Dam Road in Gwinnett County were doing some interior decorating on Wednesday.
“How do you like the new decorations,” Channel 2′s Berndt Petersen asked.
“It’s awesome! I’m happy for those folks,” customer Kim Jordan said.
The folks who won the $478.2 million dollar Powerball jackpot came forward to claim the historic prize on Monday.
The Georgia Lottery says two people are sharing the huge prize. They opted for the cash option of $230,566,360 before taxes.
“This is an incredible moment in Georgia Lottery history, and we are thrilled to congratulate Georgia’s newest and largest Powerball winners,” Georgia Lottery President and CEO Gretchen Corbin said. “This is a life-changing win, and we are so excited to celebrate with our lucky winners.”
They also opted to remain anonymous, which is permitted by Georgia law. When Channel 2 visited the lucky store the morning after the drawing, owner Banti Thakkar was sure he would learn the winner’s true identity.
