How much money did a missed mega ball cost a Georgia(GA) Lottery player recently?
So close. But a Georgia Lottery player just missed winning the $124 million Mega Millions jackpot Tuesday night. One player matched all five numbers in the Mega Millions drawing, but not the Mega Ball. That means they win $250,000 instead of $124 million. Four other people in Georgia matched four of five numbers plus the Mega Ball to win $10,000 each. The numbers in the Tuesday Mega Millions drawing were 6, 12, 15, 32, 42 and the Mega Ball was 40. Since there was no big winner, the Mega Millions jackpot rolled over and will be an estimated $146 million for the Mega Millions drawing on Friday night.

Peace and his mother listened to the automated voice read off the numbers on the phone’s speaker setting – “11-41-21-24-31…” Like a wide-eyed Charlie Bucket pulling the golden ticket from a Wonka bar, Peace listened and watched in amazement as the first five numbers matched the top row on his ticket. “I was hysterical,” he said. “My eyes were watering. I was shaking.” Peace said he suddenly couldn’t figure out how to get off the expressway. “I think we circled the airport three times.” Peace
