It's mega money for a Georgia couple...

Robert and Tanya Harris matched all five numbers plus the mega ball in Friday night's Mega Millions drawing...winning 164-million dollars after taxes. 

Robert Harris retells the story of how they won.

"I stopped at the store and it was heavy rains in our area. By the time I got to the register after filling it out in the car, I couldn't play it. So I went home and asked Tanya to go back to the store and play the two tickets that I filled out. And she played them and woke up the next morning and we hit."

The ticket was purchased at Clyde's market in Portal, Georgia...about 200 miles southeast of Atlanta.
