ATLANTA – If Friday’s $340 million Mega Millions drawing produces a winner, it could be one for the history books. That’s because it would be only the seventh time in the game’s history that a jackpot was hit on Friday the 13th.
A jackpot winner in this Friday’s drawing would have a choice between the estimated annuity value of $340 million (before taxes), or the estimated lump-sum cash value of $204 million (before taxes).
The last Mega Millions jackpot win came in the May 4 drawing when a $142 million prize was claimed on a ticket sold in Ohio. There have been 19 drawings since then.
Mega Millions tickets are $2 per play and can be purchased at Georgia Lottery retailers. Georgia residents also can purchase tickets via the Georgia Lottery app or online at www.galottery.com.
Mega Millions players can multiply prizes with the Megaplier option for an additional $1 per play. Mega Millions also offers an optional $3 wager Just the Jackpot that allows players to receive two entries for a chance to win the game’s jackpot prize only.
As with all other Georgia Lottery games, proceeds from Mega Millions will benefit education in the state of Georgia.
Since its first year, the Georgia Lottery Corp. has returned more than $19.5 billion to the state of Georgia for education. All Georgia Lottery profits go to pay for specific educational programs, including Georgia’s HOPE Scholarship Program and Georgia’s Pre-K Program. More than 1.8 million students have received HOPE, and more than 1.6 million 4-year-olds have attended the statewide, voluntary prekindergarten program.
