With a month of summer left, the Mega Millions jackpot is heating up. After no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Tuesday night – the white balls 5, 20, 26, 49 and 51, plus the gold Mega Ball 24, the jackpot for the next drawing on Friday, August 23, is an estimated $527 million ($261.9 million cash). If won at that level, it would be the 13th largest prize in the history of the game.
Big winners in Georgia for Tuesday’s drawing include one $40,000 prize in Perry and two $10,000 prizes in Brunswick and Woodstock. Each ticket matched four of the first five winning numbers plus the Mega Ball.
The $40,000 ticket, which increased from $10,000 to $40,000 with the 4X Megaplier, was purchased at Publix Super Market #1233, 275 Perry Parkway, Perry.
The two $10,000 tickets were purchased on the Georgia Lottery website by a Brunswick resident and at Chevron Food Mart, 514 Arnold Mill Road, Woodstock.
There have been 22 drawings in this jackpot run to date since the jackpot was last won at $552 million on June 4.
Players are reminded to check their tickets for one of the nine ways to win with prizes ranging from $2 all the way up to the jackpot prize.
Mega Millions winners in Georgia have 180 days from the draw date to claim prizes.
Mega Millions tickets can be purchased at Georgia Lottery retailers statewide. Georgia residents with a Georgia mailing address, who are located in Georgia at the time of purchase, can purchase Mega Millions tickets via the Georgia Lottery app or online at www.galottery.com.
