💥 The Newnan Mega Millions Mystery Deepens
Newnan, Georgia is buzzing — and for good reason. Someone in town is suddenly holding a mind-blowing $980 million Mega Millions ticket, and nobody knows who it is.
The winning ticket was snagged at a Publix off US Highway 29, instantly making this jackpot the 8th largest in Mega Millions history. Locals can’t help but wonder if the new multimillionaire is someone they pass on the street every day.
“It’s very possible I could know that person,” joked longtime resident John Leeward, who's joining the rest of Coweta County in the guessing game.
What keeps the suspense alive is Georgia’s rule that allows lottery winners to stay completely anonymous. So the mystery millionaire might stay in the shadows forever — unless they step forward voluntarily.
Still, the clock is ticking. Whoever won has 180 days to claim the prize, and they’ll need to show proof of address and their Social Security number at one of Georgia’s seven lottery district offices or at the HQ in downtown Atlanta.
Even John joked that he might be the lucky one: “It’s possible. You never know!” And honestly, anyone in Newnan could be saying the same thing right now.
And if this wasn’t your week? Don’t worry — tonight’s Powerball is sitting at a cool $500 million. Your turn could be next.
