ATLANTA — No one won the jackpot in Georgia's Mega Millions drawing on Friday night, but someone did wake up $40,000 richer.
The Mega Millions winning numbers were 15, 33, 37, 55 and 61, with a yellow "Mega Ball" number of 24. The "Megaplier" in effect was 4x.
According to the Mega Millions website, there was no jackpot winner across the country for Friday night's drawing. That means the expected next jackpot is $650 million for the drawing that will take place on Tuesday night, March 5, at 11 p.m. ET.
Here's a look at Georgia winnings from Tuesday night's drawing:
