$10K Lottery Ticket Sold in Woodstock

A lottery ticket worth $10,000 was recently sold in Woodstock in the Aug. 20 Mega Millions drawing, the Georgia Lottery Corp. announced.

After no ticket matched all six numbers drawn Aug. 20 — the white balls 5, 20, 26, 49 and 51, plus the gold Mega Ball 24, the jackpot for the next drawing on Aug. 23, is an estimated $527 million ($261.9 million cash). If won at that level, it would be the 13th largest prize in the history of the game.

In Georgia, tickets from Woodstock and Brunswick drew $10,000 prizes, and a ticket purchased in Perry drew a $40,000 prize.

Each ticket matched four of the first five winning numbers plus the Mega Ball, and the Perry ticket increased from $10,000 to $40,000 with the 4X Megaplier.

The $10,000 ticket in Woodstock was purchased at Chevron Food Mart, 514 Arnold Mill Road.

Mega Millions winners in Georgia have 180 days from the draw date to claim prizes.
