Two
tickets -- one in San Jose, Calif., and another in Atlanta, Ga. --
have matched the winning numbers in the $636 million Mega Millions
jackpot, state lottery officials said.
The
winning ticket in Tuesday's night's drawing in Atlanta was sold at
Gateway Newsstand on Lenox Road, state lottery officials confirmed to
ABC News. The luck winner in San Jose purchased their ticket from
Jenny's Gift Shop on Tully Road, California lottery officials said.
The
winning numbers were: 8, 14, 17, 20, 39; Mega Ball: 7. The cash
option is estimated at $341 million, before taxes.
The
two grand prize winners will share the jackpot, which could grow
closer to $645 million, Virginia lottery director Paula Otto told ABC
News. The exact size of the jackpot will be available later today
once sales figures are compiled.
The
$636 million jackpot grew from a modest $12 million prize in October.
Twenty-one winless drawings later, it became the second-largest
lottery jackpot in U.S. history, according to lottery officials. The
record jackpot was a $656 million Mega Millions prize in March 2012.
If
winning numbers were not selected in Tuesday night's drawing, lottery
officials estimated that the jackpot could have hit $1 billion next
week.
