The economy still may be slow, but one person in New York received a $162 million stimulus package Tuesday night in the form of a winning Mega Millions lottery ticket.

The ticket sold in New York matched all five numbers -- 3, 33, 35, 39 and 45 -- plus the Mega Ball, 13.

A ticket bought in Georgia matched five out of five numbers giving the ticket-bearer $250,000, WSB-TV reported. But the ticket did not match the Mega Ball number, WSB said.

Another ticket matched four out of five numbers as well as the Mega Ball to win $10,000.
