In Friday’s drawing, a Mega Millions player from Georgia came incredibly close to hitting the jackpot, winning a whopping $1 million. This fortunate gambler managed to match five numbers – 19, 20, 22, 47, and 58 – with the Mega Ball being 01. Atlanta News First reports that two other tickets were also winners, each pocketing $10,000 from the game.
The Peach State celebrated its million-dollar win, and similarly, the Lone Star State also had a resident who claimed the same amount. Mega Millions considers these winnings as a significant achievement, although they fell short of the big jackpot. Players now eagerly anticipate the next drawing on Tuesday, which offers an incredible estimated $735 million jackpot, ranking as the sixth-largest in the game’s history.
