The 22 drivers, all from Ghana, selected the cash option payout and are entitled to about $49.4 million--$2.1 million each before taxes. The payout had been delayed due to lawsuits filed by some drivers who contended they should have received part of the money. Ossei-Wusu, who organized the group, countered that the drivers weren't entitled to winnings because they failed to give him money to buy tickets for the winning drawing. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Alice Bonner agreed and ordered the Georgia Lottery Corporation to pay Ossei-Wusu and his group.
