Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing produced a $1 million prize for someone who bought a ticket at a convenience store in Iredell County.

The lucky winner bought the ticket at Fast Phil’s on Brawley School Road in Mooresville. The win was the second time in two weeks that a ticket in North Carolina won a $1 million prize in the game.

The $2 ticket matched the numbers on all five white balls, 15-19-33-39-68, beating odds of 1 in 12.6 million.

The winner has 180 days from the drawing to claim their prize.

No one won the Mega Millions jackpot in the drawing. Friday’s jackpot climbs to $276 million as an annuity prize, or $211.8 million cash.

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.

Too much taxes... not fair????????NC Lottery
The lottery only takes out the minimum state and federal taxes on prizes.

Why is Colossal Cash 2nd Chance drawing date labeled TBD? The entry end date is also TBD. Shouldn't we know the last time to enter and when to look forward to drawing? @nclottery NC Lottery
Hi Mia, great question! The end date and drawing date are TBD because the game is still collecting entries. We will announce these dates as soon as we know them.

Would not the odds of a pick 4 quad be 1 in 10,000?NC Lottery
You're correct, each number combination has exactly a 1 in 10,000 chance of being the winning numbers in a random drawing. Since 10 of the 10,000 combinations are quads, there is a 1 in 1,000 chance in every drawing that quads will be the winning numbers.

Congratulations to the winner !! However I bet they feel a little sick to their stomach because if they would have done the MegaPlier they would have won $3 million because the MegaPlier was 3 last night. That smile on their face could have been a little bit bigger on the way to the bank with winning 3 million. Just hope one day I can experience the feeling of winning a life changing amount by playing PowerPlay on the PowerBall or the MegaPlier on Mega Millions.

These lottery officials ain't giving up nothing in the Pick 3 and pick 4. Those numbers being drawn are horrible. Every store I go into the players are complaining. People gonna stop playing if you don't give back to the playersNC Lottery
