2 Georgians win $10K from lottery during Tuesday Mega Millions drawing

While the more than $1 billion pot for Mega Millions still hasn’t been claimed, two Georgia winners got $10,000 each during the Tuesday night drawing.

One winner got their ticket to $10,000 on the Georgia Lottery website, while the other pulled lucky numbers at a shop.

According to lottery officials, neither city was quite in Atlanta.

One of the winners had their winning ticket at Swig Bottle Shop in Luthersville, about an hour south of Atlanta in Meriwether County.

The other winner won online, but officials said they live in Stockbridge, part of the Atlanta metro area.

Since no one hit the jackpot, the Mega Millions prize grew to $1.25 billion.

The next Mega Millions drawing is set for Friday, while a comparatively smaller Powerball drawing is up for a lucky winner Wednesday night.

The drawing is aired in our WSB-TV Lottery Studioes before WSB Tonight at 11 p.m.
