Mega Million Lottery Jackpot Finally Hit With Ticket From Georgia

The Mega Millions lottery has been on the minds of millions of people across the United States. The multi state lottery game has been watching its jackpot grow over the past month and a half.

Just when it was beginning to look like the jackpot would approach one of the highest the game has ever had to offer, it all ended with five lucky numbers, and a lucky money ball.

Friday night, the Mega Millions Lottery jackpot top prize climbed all the way up to $270 million. If nobody would have hit, it would have just been a few more draws before it became the all time biggest jackpot.

That will not be the case after the winning ticket was sold at a convenience store in the small town of Portal, Georgia. The winning ticket came from Clyde's Market 70. The general manager, Billy Hodges, said that one of his regulars bought the winning ticket.

The grand prize winner was not the only happy person after Friday's drawing. Thirty six other players matched all five numbers in the drawing, but failed to match the money ball. They will each receive $250,000.
