Georgia is celebrating its largest jackpot winner in history. A single Mega Millions ticket purchased in Newnan matched all six numbers drawn Friday night to win a jackpot worth an estimated $980 million. The jackpot has an estimated cash value of $452.2 million.
Publix #1816, located at 4000 N. Highway 29 in Newnan, sold the lucky Quik Pik ticket.
“We are thrilled to congratulate the largest winner in our state’s history,” Georgia Lottery President and CEO Gretchen Corbin said. “With every Mega Millions ticket sold in Georgia supporting HOPE and Pre-K, Georgia’s students and families are also big winners. We appreciate our players and retailers for their support of our mission.”
The winning numbers for the Friday, Nov. 14 Mega Millions drawing were: 1-8-11-12-57 and the Mega Ball was 7. 
This is the highest single payout in Georgia Lottery history, surpassing the previous record held when one Powerball ticket sold in Buford for the Oct. 23, 2024, drawing won a $478.2 million jackpot. Two individuals shared the prize and selected the cash option of $230.6 million.
This is also an exciting win for the retailer. Any Georgia Lottery retailer selling a winning Mega Millions jackpot ticket can earn the $50,000 retailer incentive bonus payment.
In Georgia, Mega Millions winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim prizes. Georgia Lottery players are reminded to check their tickets for one of the nine ways to win.
Mega Millions tickets are $5 per play with a multiplier included. Mega Millions tickets can be purchased at Georgia Lottery retailers statewide. Georgia residents with a Georgia mailing address, who are located in Georgia at the time of purchase, can purchase tickets via the Georgia Lottery app or online at www.galottery.com.
Mega Millions drawings are held Tuesdays and Fridays at 11 p.m. (ET).
As with all other Georgia Lottery games, proceeds from Mega Millions will benefit education in the state of Georgia. Since its first year, the Georgia Lottery Corp. has returned more than $29.8 billion to the state of Georgia for education. All Georgia Lottery profits go to pay for specific educational programs, including Georgia’s HOPE Scholarship Program and Georgia’s Pre-K Program. More than 2.25 million students have received HOPE, and more than 2.2 million 4-year-olds have attended the statewide, voluntary prekindergarten program.

Earlier this year, a lucky lorry driver from Essex won an incredible £5.2 million jackpot prize on Lotto – but still just under £10 million less than what is up for grabs tonight.
Gary MacDonald, 60, said in May he was looking forward to celebrating his good fortune by getting married to his partner, Anita, and indulging his passion for Formula 1 by attending races at tracks across the world.
In the meantime, the couple have splashed out on a brand-new vacuum cleaner.
Gary said, “We still shopped around for the best deal. We are not flash people. We are very down to earth and know the value of things.”
Gary’s winning journey began when he spotted an email from The National Lottery that said: “Good news about your ticket”. He was delighted to discover he had won £35.
Then he realised there was an additional prize of more than £5.2 million. He had to wait several hours for the phone lines to open, which he described as “the longest two and a half hours of my life”.Lorry driver wins £5.2 million on lotteryThe hunt has been on since October to find the owner of the winning ticket, bought in Bexley, south-eastern Greater London, who has won over £10.6 million.

The ticket was bought on October 4, and the buyer matched all six main numbers.
The winning numbers were 6, 8, 12, 33, 49 and 59. 
The lucky ticketholder has until April 2, 2026, to claim their prize.

“Tell your friends, check your pockets, check your tickets as it could be you!”

This is your 30-minute warning to grab tickets for tonight’s Lotto and Thunderball draws.
Lotto, originally called The National Lottery, is the most popular draw, with between 15 and 45 million tickets sold each draw. It has been running since 1994, with the first draw broadcast live. It was watched by an estimated 22 million people.
It was originally operated by Camelot, which ran the lottery for 30 years until the license transferred to the new operator, Allwyn, on February 1, 2024. 
The most winners for a single jackpot was 133 in January 1995, each player winning £122,510.
Rollovers are frequent, with “Treble rollovers” – two consecutive rollovers – much less common. The first quadruple rollover draw occurred on September 29, 2012, with a jackpot of £19.5 million. 
Tonight’s £15 million Lotto jackpot must be won.
Lotto Must Be Won draws are special events in which the jackpot can roll down if nobody matches all six main numbers. The jackpot is guaranteed to be given away, so prize amounts can be far larger than normal for hundreds of thousands of players at a time.
If no one wins, the jackpot is shared by players matching two or more main numbers, resulting in thousands of boosted cash prizes.
More information about Rolldowns is included in the Lotto Game Procedures.
To date, there have been 96 “Must Be Won” Lotto draws.
To be in with a chance of securing the Lotto £15 million jackpot, or the 500k Thunderball prize, you have just under one hour and 30 minutes to buy your tickets – until 7:30pm.
We will share the winning numbers as soon as we get them. Stay with us!Happy young man in casual clothingNovember 12’s Lotto draw saw over £8.5 million up for grabs, but no one walked away with the jackpot – hence the rollover to tonight, with the prize pot now at £15 million.
