Someone in the State of Georgia, U.S., just stepped into a new universe.

A single ticket sold in the state matched all six numbers in the November 14 Mega Millions® drawing, locking in a jaw-dropping $983 million jackpot, the biggest win since the game revamped its format earlier this year.

It’s the kind of headline that makes players everywhere ask themselves, “Why not me next?”

The winning numbers were 1, 8, 11, 12 and 57, with the Gold Mega Ball 7. The holder of that ticket now gets to choose between the full annuitized prize or an immediate $452 million cash payout, before taxes. Either way, it’s a life-shifting moment most people only imagine.

“This is the largest jackpot that’s been won since the Mega Millions game changed,” said Joshua Johnston, lead director for the Mega Millions Consortium. The updated format has delivered bigger jackpots more frequently, and this latest win shows just how high the stakes can climb.

And the wealth didn’t stop with Georgia. Mega Millions confirmed 347 third-tier winners across 40 jurisdictions, with prizes ranging from $20,000 to $100,000. It wasn’t just a single lucky night for one person; it was a wave of wins across the country, giving players a reason to tune in again.

The momentum continues into the weekend. The next Mega Millions drawing is Friday, November 21, offering a $60 million jackpot, or a $27 million cash option for anyone ready to take the shortcut to millionaire status. Even at this level, one ticket can flip someone’s financial story for good.

The drawing happens live from Atlanta, Georgia, at 11 p.m. ET, and you can catch the video right after on the Mega Millions® website.
