Atlanta & San Jose Produced Mega Millions Winners; Jackpot $636M admin Wednesday, December 18, 2013 The Receipt Two lucky individuals won the $636 million Mega Millions lotto drawing last night. The confirmation of their whereabouts were made public early this morning. Apparently, San Jose, California and Atlanta, Georgia were the two cities lucky enough to house winners. According to the Associated Press… The lucky Georgia ticket was sold at a Gateway Newsstand in Atlanta’s affluent Buckhead area, Mega Millions Executive Director Paula Otto said. Newsstand owner Young Soolee grinned as she arrived Wednesday morning at the shop off the lobby of the Alliance Center office building. The newsstand is frequented by workers at the office building, which sits across the street from an upscale mall. “I’m so excited and so happy now,” Soolee said. “I love my store and the customer now.” Buckhead is a financial center of Atlanta and one of its largest neighborhoods, a vast northern area known for upscale shopping centers such as Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza, both a short walk from the store that sold the winning ticket. The California ticket was sold at Jennifer’s Gift Shop in San Jose. The winning numbers were: 8, 14, 17, 20, 39; Mega Ball: 7. This is the second largest jackpot in U.S. history.
