ATLANTA – As a result of brisk sales, the Mega Millions jackpot is now $425 million for Friday’s drawing, Georgia Lottery officials have announced. Friday the 13th could be the luckiest day of the year for a jackpot that can be won by a single annuity winner!
The jackpot began rolling Oct. 4 and has rolled 20 times.
Georgians have won lots of great prizes, including two winning tickets worth $5,000 that were sold in Norcross from the Dec. 10 drawing. Another two winning tickets worth $5,000 were sold in Pelham and Lawrenceville.
One lucky Georgia Lottery player won a $10,000 prize. The winning ticket was purchased in Gainesville.
Mega Millions offers two jackpot payment options: the $425 million annuity prize paid out as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual graduated payments; or the cash option, which is approximately $228 million.
It only takes $1 to play Mega Millions for a chance to win big. Players can multiply prizes with the Megaplier option for an additional $1 per play.
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 $14.8 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 1.6 million students have received HOPE, and more than 1.3 million 4-year-olds have attended the statewide, voluntary prekindergarten program.
