The estimated $980 million jackpot is the eighth-largest in Mega Millions history.
A Mega Millions ticket sold in metro Atlanta just made someone a multimillionaire.

The player, who bought their ticket at Publix in Newnan, matched all six numbers during a Friday evening drawing and won a jackpot worth an estimated $980 million.

Cash option is $452.2 million before taxes.

Read about one who took his million dollar cash option, was broke in less than a year.
