ATLANTA — No one woke up a millionaire on Wednesday. For the 28th consecutive drawing, no tickets matched all five numbers and the Megaball in Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing.

The jackpot now sits at $825 million with a cash option of $382.2 million. The next drawing will be on Friday night.
While no one is taking home the jackpot, someone in Georgia woke up a winner. Georgia Lottery’s website confirms one ticket matched four numbers and the Megaball. With the 4x multiplier, the winner receives $40,000.
The Georgia Lottery confirmed the ticket was sold at a QuikTrip on Hudson Bridge Road in Stockbridge.
Another player matched all four numbers and the Megaball, but didn’t have the 4x multiplier, so their ticket was worth $10,000. That ticket was sold at a Shell on N. Stone Mountain Lithonia Road in DeKalb County.
