ATLANTA — The big $1.337 billion Mega Millions jackpot was not, unfortunately, won by anybody in Georgia on Friday night. But at least a couple people in the Peach State still had life-changing winnings.

According to Mega Millions, there were 26 people around the country who matched all five white balls for a second-tier prize - and the second tier prize is not a bad consolation.

It's worth $1 million - and two lucky Georgians were among the 26 to hit it. 

 

In a release, Georgia Lottery officials identified the two locations where the $1 million tickets were sold:

Food Lion, 5157 Columbia Road, Grovetown and Speedy, 15 Upchurch Road, McDonough.

Mega Millions said of the 26, six people played the Megaplier - which makes your lottery ticket cost more, but doubles the prize winning - to win $2 million. Three of those people were in Florida and there was also one each in Arkansas, Iowa and Pennsylvania.

Of the remaining 20, two were in Georgia.

The Mega Millions organizers also said there were 375 people who matched four white ball numbers and the gold mega ball to win at least $10,000.
