Video: Winning Ticket From $636M Mega Millions Jackpot

(12-18) 05:14 PST SAN JOSE -- A winning ticket for Tuesday's $636 million Mega Millions jackpot was sold at Jenny's Gift Shop in San Jose, according to the California State Lottery.

"A lucky someone who shops at 'Jennifer's Gift Shop' on Tully Rd. in #SanJose will wake up a millionaire (Wednesday)," the lottery tweeted about 9:10 p.m. Tuesday.

Lotto officials were careful to caution that there could be other Mega Millions winners.

"Please note: We still don't know if this ticket is the only winning ticket out there," lottery officials said in a written statement. "It may be a few more hours, perhaps even morning, before we know if the holder of this ticket will have to share the near record $636 million."

The Georgia Lottery confirmed a winning ticket was sold in Atlanta, ABC News reported.

The California Lottery also encouraged lottery winners to "immediately" sign the back of their ticket and claim them at the nearest California Lottery District Office.
