According to Georgia Lottery figures, two people came away with a four-figure payday.
The breakdown is as follows:
- $1,000 winners: 2 people
- $500 winners: 8 people
- $400 winners: 8 people
- $200 winners: 33 people
The $1,000 winners matched four numbers for what is ordinarily a $500 prize, but they had the 2x “Megaplier” in effect to double their winnings. The other eight people who won the regular $500 also matched four numbers.
The $400 winners matched three numbers plus the yellow “Mega Ball” number and had the “Megaplier” in effect to double a $200 prize. Then there were the additional 33 people who won $200 for three matching numbers plus the Mega Ball.
There were 371 people who also came away with $20 in the drawing.
