Mega Millions player wins $1 million prize. Where in the US was the lucky ticket sold?

A Mega Millions ticket sold in Pennsylvania just missed the $215 million jackpot but won $1 million, lottery officials said.

The ticket matched five winning numbers but not the Mega Ball in the drawing Tuesday, March 4, the Pennsylvania Lottery said.

The winning ticket was sold at a Walmart in Meadville, which is about a 90-mile drive north from Pittsburgh, the lottery said in a news release.

Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $233 million, with a cash option of approximately $110.5 million, for the next drawing Friday, March 7, the national Mega Millions site said.

The winning numbers were 14, 19, 47, 52 and 70 with a Mega Ball of 6, the lottery said. The Megaplier multiplier was 2x.

More than 500,000 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.
