$189 million Mega Millions ticket sold in Maryland

By Mike Morris

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Sorry, Georgia Lottery players. A single ticket sold in Maryland matched all six numbers in Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing, winning a jackpot estimated at $189 million.

The numbers drawn Tuesday night were 7, 10, 30, 37 and 53, and the Mega Ball was 1.

If the winner choses the cash option, he or she will receive a one-time payout of about $129 mllion before taxes.

The Mega Millions jackpot had been climbing for more than two months, since a New Jersey lottery player won $19 million on July 26.

The jackpot for Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing is $70 million.
