Winning Mega Millions ticket sold in Atlanta
A winning ticket was sold in Georgia for the $71 million Mega Millions jackpot.
The winning numbers -- drawn Tuesday night -- were 10, 22,24, 36 and 49 with a mega ball of 33. A single winning ticket was sold at the Chevron Food Mart, 5851 Buffington Road in southwest Atlanta.
Ten people hit the first five numbers but not the mega ball. Those ticket holders won $250,000.
The Mega Millions jackpot now resets to $12 million.
The jackpot for Powerball, the other multi-state lottery played in Georgia, is $120 million. The next Powerball drawing is Wednesday night.
In October, another metro Atlanta resident claimed a Powerball jackpot prize. Kathy Scruggs won $25 million in the Sept. 14 Powerball drawing after trying to purchase a Mega Millions ticket.
Winners in Georgia have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize.
