A lucky Mega Millions winner in Georgia scored the $989 million jackpot after the longest drought in the history of the game — but they’ll end up walking away with a lot less than that. Friday’s winning ticket was bought in a Publix grocery store in Newnan, a town 35 miles southwest of Atlanta, following 40 days of drawing without a winner. The jackpot ticket matched all six numbers – 1, 8, 11, 12, 57, and the Mega Ball 7, and the odds of winning were 1 in 290,472,336, according Mega Millions .
