Are you playing the 1 million dollar Mega Millions Lottery? A Mega Millions lottery ticket was sold at the 7-Eleven on South Polk Street in Pineville. There was a drawing for the billion-dollar jackpot on Tuesday night. The winner matched all five white balls in the drawing, scoring its owner a $1 million prize. No one has claimed the prize yet!
It was one of 7 tickets winning at least $1 million nationwide. Tickets were also sold in New York, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and California. A person in Texas scored an even bigger prize, selecting the Megaplier to win $4 million! The lottery puts its odds of matching all five white balls around 1 in 12.6 million according to Yahoo News.
No one has yet claimed the huge grand prize, which has now grown to an estimated $1.25 billion. The jackpot is the 6th largest in U.S. lottery history and the 4th largest in Mega Millions history. The last grand prize winner came on April 18 of this year. That's when a 71-year-old from New York won the largest jackpot in the game's history. Johnnie Taylor won $476 million but opted for the cash option, taking home more than $157 million after taxes.
The next Mega Millions Lottery drawing is Friday night. The jackpot should be north of 1.2 billion dollars!
