Another Tarrant County winner! Fort Worth resident wins $3 million in Mega Millions
The winning continues in Tarrant County.
Texas Lottery officials announced on Thursday that a Fort Worth resident claimed a second-tier Mega Millions prize worth $3 million for the drawing on Aug. 30.
The ticket was purchased at Terry’s Food, 5221 Camp Bowie Blvd. in Fort Worth. The claimant elected to remain anonymous.
Last month, an Arlington resident claimed $1.75 million in the Texas Two Step game.
The winning Quick Pick ticket with Megaplier matched all five of the white ball numbers drawn, 2-38-55-57-65, but not the Mega Ball number 17.. The Megaplier number was 3.
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. Players matching fewer numbers may not win the jackpot, but still walk away winners.
Mega Millions currently offers a $20 million starting jackpot and a second-tier (Match 5+0) prize of $1 million.
By choosing the Megaplier for $1 more per Play, players can multiply their non-jackpot winnings by two, three, four or five times, winning as much as $5 million. Drawings are broadcast each Tuesday and Friday at 10:12 p.m.
The Texas Lottery provides several entertaining games for lottery players including Powerball, Mega Millions, Lotto Texas, All or Nothing, Texas Two Step, Pick 3, Daily 4, Cash Five and scratch-ticket games.
