ATLANTA (CNN) -- One person is holding the winning ticket from Tuesday night's multi-state Big Game lottery, with a jackpot estimated at $116 million.

The winning ticket was bought in Rossville, Georgia, just south of Chattanooga, Tennessee. The winning numbers were 4, 40, 42, 43 and 48. The Big Money Ball number was 8.

Players in the six-state lottery must correctly pick five numbers, plus the "Big Game" number, to claim the jackpot. Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan and Virginia participate in the drawings.

In addition to the grand prize winner, two ticket holders each won $150,000 by matching five numbers. Another 17 people won $5,000 each for matching four numbers.
