Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing produced a $1 million prize for someone who bought a ticket at a convenience store in Charlotte.
The lucky winner bought the ticket at Plaza Sundries on East Trade Street in Charlotte. The $2 ticket matched the numbers on the five white balls, 7-13-17-21-45, beating odds of 1 in 12.6 million.
The drawing also produced two $10,000 wins in North Carolina. The lucky tickets were sold at the Circle K on Spring Forest Road in Raleigh and the Food Lion on Falls River Avenue in Raleigh.
No one won Tuesday’s jackpot. The jackpot climbs to $231 million as an annuity prize or $184.9 million cash for Friday’s drawing.
