One lucky Georgian’s $5 ticket has just won them a multi-millionaire after they correctly selected the majority of the numbers in Tuesday’s Mega Millions lottery.
Tuesday night’s draw numbers were 2, 4, 10, 48, and 56, with a Mega Ball of 22.
While no one in the country won Tuesday’s $637 million jackpot, the Georgia Lottery says one individual matched all five white balls and got a four-times multiplier on their ticket, making it worth a nice $4 million.
Lottery authorities confirmed to CBS News Atlanta that the winning ticket was purchased at the Fraternal Order of Eagles, Aerie 4379 in St. Marys, Georgia.
The award has yet to be claimed, and the winner has 180 days from the draw date to collect their cash, according to officials.
Two additional large tickets were sold in Florida and New Jersey, but none matched what was won in Georgia this week.
With no jackpot winners, the top prize on Friday will now rise to an estimated $672 million.
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 290,472,336.
