Mega Millions player wins $1 million prize. Where in the US was the lucky ticket sold?
A Mega Millions ticket sold in Michigan just missed the $94 million jackpot but won $1 million, lottery officials said.
The ticket matched five winning numbers but not the Mega Ball in the drawing Friday, Feb. 7, the Michigan Lottery said.
The winning ticket was sold at a Sunoco gas station in Clarkston, about a 40-mile drive northwest from Detroit, officials said.
Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $110 million, with a cash option of approximately $50.2 million, for the next drawing Tuesday, Feb. 11, the national Mega Millions site said.
The winning numbers were 4, 24, 32, 41 and 55 with a Mega Ball of 16, the lottery said. The Megaplier multiplier was 2x.
More than 385,000 other tickets sold in the United States won prizes ranging from $2 to $20,000 in the drawing, the lottery said.
The Mega Millions jackpot was last hit Jan. 17, when an Arizona player won the $112 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
