Associated Press

ATLANTA, Ga. —

The winning numbers drawn just after 11p.m. Friday were: 2, 4, 23, 38, 46 and the Mega Ball 23.

Yes, the number 23 fell twice in what lottery officials say is a world-record MegaMillions lottery jackpot of $640 million.

Kimberly Starks, a spokeswoman for the Georgia Lottery, said Friday the jackpot had increased. The jackpot had stood at $540 million before Friday's announcement.

The previous record jackpot was $390 million in 2007.

A drawing took place in Atlanta.

The odds of winning the jackpot had been set at about 1 in 176 million.

MegaMillions has drawn long lines of lottery players in stores in the 42 states plus Washington, D.C., and the Virgin Islands where tickets are sold.

The world-record jackpot has also lured some residents to travel to other states to buy $1 tickets.
