ATLANTA (AP) -- The winner of the $163 million grand prize from the latest Mega Millions lotto drawing is a 52-year-old maintenance man for the Bainbridge Housing Authority.
Ben Chason selected the cash option and, after federal and state taxes, will go home with about $66 million. He accepted his check Monday morning at Georgia Lottery headquarters in downtown Atlanta. The drawing was Friday.
Chason said he bought the wining ticket Thursday at Stop N Buy convenience store in Bainbridge. He said he usually buys two Mega Millions tickets a week. When asked if he will continue working for the housing authority, Chason replied, "I'm retired."
In addition to the grand prize winner, 13 players matched all five numbers but not the Mega Ball number. They will receive second prizes of $250,000 each.
The winning numbers from Friday night's drawing were: six, 26, 33, 39 and 55. The Mega Ball number was one.
The next drawing is Tuesday with a jackpot of $12 million.
