DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Lottery officials said winning ticket tickets were sold in California and Georgia for the $636 million Mega Millions jackpot, the second-largest lottery prize in U.S. history.
The winning numbers were: 8, 14, 17, 20, 39; Mega Ball: 7.
Paula Otto, the Virginia Lottery’s executive director and the lead director of Mega Millions, said $336 million in tickets were sold for Tuesday’s drawing.
California Lottery spokesman Alex Traverso said Tuesday one ticket was sold at Jennifer’s Gift Shop in San Jose, Calif.
The lucky Georgia ticket was sold at a Gateway Newsstand in the affluent Buckhead area of Atlanta. Owner Young Soolee grinned as she arrived this morning at the shop, off the beaten path to the public and frequented by workers from the Alliance Center office building.
The jackpot resets to $15 million for the next drawing, which is on Friday night.
