ATLANTA — Three people are waking up richer on Wednesday morning after buying lottery tickets worth $10,000 for the latest Mega Millions drawing.
While those three people took home some cash, no one matched all the numbers to win the $619 million jackpot.
The Georgia Lottery says one of those tickets was bought online, one came from Kroger in Rome and the third came from the Ellabell Food Mart in Ellabell, Georgia near Savannah.
