ATLANTA — Editor's note: The video above is from the previous jackpot.
Georgians have another chance at being billionaires after no one took home the $1.1 billion prize last night; seven people around the United States secured million-dollar winning tickets, including one person who selected the Megaplier to get a $4 million payout.
Sadly none of those winners were In Georgia, but there were a couple of people that won $10,000; now the prize sits at $1.25 billion.
The winning numbers for Tuesday, August 1, were 8-24-30-45-61, Mega Ball: 12 and Megaplier: 4.
The jackpot is the sixth-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.
Mega Millions hasn't seen a grand prize winner since April 18, when a 71-year-old man from New York won the state's largest Mega Millions jackpot ever. Johnnie Taylor of Howard Beach in Queens, New York, won $476 million but opted for the cash option — a lump sum of more than $157 million after taxes.
How many people won the Mega Millions in Georgia?
- $10,000 prize: 2 winners
- $2,000 prize: 10 winners (with Megaplier)
- $500 prize: 87 winners
- $200 prize: 159 winners
What are my chances of winning the Mega Millions?
The game's odds are 1 in 302.6 million.
Lucky winners can choose an annuity with annual payments over 29 years. Winners almost always take the cash option, which would be an estimated $550.2 million for Friday night's drawing.
