The Mega Millions jackpot is climbing again after no one hit the winning numbers in Tuesday night’s drawing.
The prize now sits at $825 million ahead of the next drawing on Friday, Dec. 20.
The winning numbers for Tuesday, Dec. 17, were 56, 66, 67, 68, and 69, with the Mega Ball 18 and a 4x Megaplier.
Georgia winners
While there were no jackpot winners in Georgia or nationwide, one ticket in Georgia matched four white balls plus the Mega Ball, earning the ticket holder $10,000. Another, thanks to the Megaplier, walked away with a whopping $40,000.
Additional Georgia winners included:
- 45 tickets won $500 (12 with Megaplier, increasing the prize to $2,000).
- 76 tickets matched three numbers plus the Mega Ball for $200 (15 winners received $800 with the Megaplier).
- Thousands of smaller prizes were claimed across the state.
Tickets can be purchased until 10:45 p.m. on the night of the drawing.
How to play
Tickets are $2 per play and are available at lottery retailers statewide, online at www.galottery.com, or through the Georgia Lottery mobile app. Players can add the Megaplier for an extra $1 per ticket, which can multiply non-jackpot prizes up to five times.
Proceeds from the Mega Millions support education programs across Georgia.
