ATLANTA – The Mega Millions jackpot has soared past the billion-dollar mark. After no ticket matched all six numbers in Friday’s drawing, Tuesday’s jackpot is an estimated $1.1 billion ($576.8 million cash), the third highest in game history.
Winning numbers for the Friday, Jan. 6 drawing were: 3-20-46-59-63 and the Mega Ball was 13. The Megaplier was 3X.
Five tickets in Georgia won $10,000 each Friday by matching four of the first five numbers plus the Mega Ball. The lucky $10,000 tickets were purchased in Acworth, Loganville, Monroe, Sylvester and West Point.
Since the current jackpot run began with the Oct. 18 drawing, Mega Millions has generated approximately $20.1 million for the Georgia Lottery-funded HOPE Scholarship and Pre-K programs.
In addition, Georgia Lottery players have won approximately $9.1 million in Mega Millions prizes since the jackpot began growing in October.
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.
