Mega Millions lottery winner bought ticket in Perry, GA. The next drawing is one of the largest

One lucky winner hit the $10,000 Mega Millions drawing thanks to a ticket purchased in Perry, the Georgia Lottery announced Monday.

The ticket for the December 20 drawing was purchased at Circle K at 1424 Sam Nunn Blvd. The winning numbers were announced at 11pm that day.

“The ticket matched four of the five winning numbers,” which were 2, 20, 51, 56 and 57, the Georgia Lottery said in a news release. It also matched Mega Ball, which was 19 with a Megaplier of 2x.

The unknown winner had not claimed their prize as of Monday afternoon, according to Taryn Jacobs, corporate communications manager for the Georgia Lottery.

The seventh-largest multistate Mega Millions lottery is set for Christmas Eve with a jackpot of about $944 million.

Only 13 Mega Millions jackpots have been won in December since the drawing began in 2002.

Mega Millions winners in Georgia have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prize. Drawings take place twice a week, with a growing jackpot until it is won.
