North Texas resident wins a prize over $1 million on Mega Millions lottery ticket
A Dallas resident claimed a second-tier Mega Millions prize worth $1,000,002 for the drawing on June 30, according to a news release from the Texas Lottery.
The ticket was purchased at Players Cafe, at 7801 N. Lamar Blvd. (Suite E216), in Austin. The winner chose to remain anonymous, lottery officials said.
The ticket won $1 million by matching all five of the white ball numbers drawn (13-22-47-51-55), but not the Mega Ball number (9). The claimant had an additional win of $2 on the same ticket.
Mega Millions is played by choosing five numbers from a field of 70 and one Mega Ball number from the second field of 25 numbers. To win the Mega Millions jackpot, players must match all six numbers drawn including the Mega Ball.
