Life just changed for Ira Curry of Stone Mountain.

The Georgia resident purchased one of two winning tickets in the second largest lottery payout in U.S. history.

She and another individual will share the $636 million Mega Millions jackpot – with Curry set to receive a lump sum payment of $120 million – after taxes; that other winning ticket was sold at a gift shop in San Jose California; the holder of that ticket has yet to come forward – they have one year to do so.

Curry said she chose the numbers herself – using birth dates of family members.
