ATLANTA — Imagine receiving an end of the year bonus of $1.22 billion. That would be enough for a well paid six month vacation, twice a year.
It is the fifth-largest jackpot in Mega Millions history.
If the winner chooses a cash payout, they’ll get approximately $516.1 million.
In Georgia, winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prizes.
The Georgia Lottery Corp. has made significant contributions to the state’s educational programs, returning over $28.3 billion since its inception.
