A Mega Millions ticket holder in Texas walked away with the grand prize last night, leaving Georgia residents hoping for a slice of the massive jackpot. While no one in the Peach State snagged the big win, a Georgia player did claim a $10,000 prize.
🎰 Why It Matters: Winning the Mega Millions is a long-shot dream for many. With the latest jackpot gone to Texas, it’s a reminder that even smaller prizes, like the $10,000 win in Georgia, can make a significant difference for some players.
💵 What Happened:
• The winning numbers were 1, 2, 16, 24, 66, with a Mega Ball of 6.
• Georgia players won smaller amounts, though the top prize is heading west to Texas.
🔢 Catch Up Quick: Mega Millions tickets are sold in 45 states, plus Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The odds of winning the top prize are famously steep, at about 1 in 302.6 million, but thousands win smaller prizes with every drawing.
