ATLANTA — There's a $1 billion jackpot on the line after no one took home the $940 million prize last night; five people around the United States secured million-dollar winning tickets. Sadly none of those winners were In Georgia, but there were a few people that won $10,000.
The winning numbers for Friday, July 29, were 5, 10, 28, 52, 63 and Mega Ball 18. The Megaplier was 5x.
The $1.05 billion jackpot for Tuesday is tied for the seventh-largest U.S. lottery prize and the fourth-largest in Mega Millions history. July has been a hot month for lottery prizes after a ticket sold in downtown Los Angeles won the $1.08 billion Powerball jackpot.
While no one took home the jackpot Friday, five players still came out on top: four players in Arizona, California, New York and Pennsylvania won $1 million apiece by matching the first five white balls, and another ticket in Pennsylvania won $5 million with the Megaplier option.
