$10K winning Mega Millions ticket sold at Gwinnett gas station

Players who would take the cash option would win $930 million, before taxes. Winning isn't everything, though, and players should expect a barrage of con artists, lawsuit filers and taxes when they win. Remember, though, even if Wednesday's drawing fails to declare a winner, the children are the real winners. Since Powerball began rolling over on Nov. 7, the jackpot has generated an estimated $26.9 million for Georgia Lottery-funded Pre-K and HOPE Scholarships. Players have had until 10 p.m. Wednesday to buy $2 tickets, according to lottery officials. The drawing was held at 11 p.m. EST. and the result not available at the time of this report.

The winning numbers for the March 8 drawing were 4-9-42-62-68, with a Mega Ball of 7. The winning ticket matches the first four winning numbers (4-6-42-62) and the Mega Ball.

A winner has not yet claimed the $10,000 prize, and they have 180 days to do so. That means you can claim your prize until Sept. 4. Winners of more than $600 can cash in at the Georgia Lottery's Atlanta headquarters or at any satellite office. That includes the Duluth office in Gwinnett County located at 1680 Executive Drive South.
