Andrew Hunter, 24, of Dawsonville told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution he had actually thrown the first Mega Millions ticket away. He fished it out of a trash can when he learned he had won on a small scale by matching one ball and the Mega Ball. Advertisement One of his new tickets gave him a big payout in Tuesday's drawing. "I never bought that ticket if I hadn't pulled the other ticket out of the trash," he said. "I don't think it's really hit me yet.". Hunter, who works at a Taco Mac, said he plans to invest most of the $250,000.
