Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing produced a $1 million prize for Marion Hughes of Mooresville.
Hughes purchased her winning ticket at Fast Phil’s on Brawley School Road in Mooresville.
Her $2 ticket matched the numbers on all five white balls, 15-19-33-39-68, beating odds of 1 in 12.6 million.
Hughes claimed her prize Wednesday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After required federal and state tax withholdings, she took home $707,501.
Since no one won Tuesday’s Mega Millions jackpot, it climbs to $276 million as an annuity prize, or $211.8 million cash for Friday’s drawing.
The odds of winning a Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302.5 million.
Players can try their luck and buy $2 Mega Millions tickets at any lottery retail location or through Online Play on the lottery’s website, www.nclottery.com, or with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App.
