Georgia shopper wins $980M Mega Millions jackpot in Newnan

A Mega Millions ticket sold at a Publix supermarket in Newnan has matched all six numbers

(CNN)- A Mega Millions ticket sold at a Publix supermarket in Newnan has matched all six numbers, winning a massive $980 million jackpot Friday night — just $20 million shy of a billion dollars.

If the winner chooses the lump sum option, the cash payout comes to $452 million before taxes.

It’s the largest Mega Millions prize since the lottery raised ticket prices to five dollars earlier this year. It also took 40 consecutive drawings before anyone hit the jackpot.

The odds of matching all six winning numbers? About one in 290 million.
