Winnings are claimed on June 5 for the April 20 drawing.

Akbar Ali of Lilburn is $250,000 richer after matching the first five of the winning numbers in the April 20 Mega Millions Drawing. In a press release from the Georgia Lottery, Ali, a financial service manager, said he wanted to take his time to set up a game plan before claiming his prize.

Ali bought a "bunch of tickets" and on the winning ticket, he had picked three of his own numbers and selected the Quik Pik option for the others. He and his wife, Anila, have one daughter whom they now intend to enroll into a private school. “We will take a short vacation and put the remainder away in savings and retirement,” Ali said.

The April 20 Mega Millions winning numbers were 14-23-26-33-35 and the Mega Ball was 40.
