ATLANTA – After serving up two winning tickets worth $10,000 each this past week, Friday’s Mega Millions jackpot has grown to an estimated $224 million.
The Mega Millions jackpot has grown since Jan. 4 and has rolled 14 times.
One $10,000 ticket was sold in Kennesaw for the Feb. 15 drawing, and another was sold in Jesup for the Feb. 19 drawing.

It only takes $2 to play Mega Millions for a chance to win big. 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.
Mega Millions tickets can be purchased at Georgia Lottery retailers statewide. Georgia residents also can purchase Mega Millions tickets via the Georgia Lottery app or online at www.galottery.com.
As with all other Georgia Lottery games, proceeds from Mega Millions will benefit education in the state of Georgia.

All Georgia Lottery profits go to pay for specific educational programs, including Georgia’s HOPE Scholarship Program and Georgia’s Pre-K Program.
