Locust Grove Mega Millions Ticket Wins $30,000 With 3X Multiplier
A ticket sold at a Circle K Store on Bill Gardner Parkway in Locust Grove matched four white balls and the Mega Ball before a built-in 3X multiplier lifted the prize to $30,000.
A Mega Millions ticket purchased in Locust Grove won a $30,000 prize in the September 8, 2026, drawing, according to the Georgia Lottery Corporation. The winning ticket was connected to a Georgia Lottery player, but no individual identity was provided.
The ticket was purchased at the Circle K Store at 5080 Bill Gardner Parkway in Locust Grove, Georgia. That location was identified as the retailer associated with the winning ticket in the Georgia Lottery Corporation’s account of the prize.
The winning combination did not match all five white-ball numbers. Instead, the ticket matched four of the five white-ball numbers drawn for the game, along with the Mega Ball. That result produced a base prize of $10,000 before the ticket’s built-in multiplier was applied.
The multiplier increased the value of the prize threefold. A built-in 3X multiplier raised the $10,000 base award to the final prize of $30,000.
The five white-ball numbers drawn were 17, 30, 43, 58 and 66. The Mega Ball number was 20. Readers looking for current draw information can review the latest Mega Millions results page.
