Jim Pass must be glad he Megaplied. He won big because his Mega Millions ticket matched four white balls and the Mega Ball in the Jan. 29 drawing. He won triple the prize – $30,000 – because he added the $1 Megaplier to his ticket, and the Megaplier for the drawing was three.
Pass collected his prize money the day after the drawing at the lottery’s Charlotte claim center. When asked how it felt when he realized he won, Pass replied: “I was pleasantly surprised!”
Pass, who works in sales, said he planned to use his winnings to pay bills and save for the future. He purchased his winning ticket at the Kingsway on Kendrick Road in Gastonia.
