Mega Millions ticket sold in Charlotte wins $1 million prize

July 3, 2021 Posted by NC Lottery at 9:14 AM

Friday’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 the 7-Eleven on Freedom Drive in Charlotte.

The $2 ticket matched the numbers on all five white balls, 8-31-32-34-45, to win the $1 million prize. The odds of matching all five white balls in a drawing are 1 in 12.6 million. The winner has 180 days to claim the prize.

The ticket won the largest prize nationally in Friday’s drawing. A second ticket sold in California also won a $1 million prize.

No one won the Mega Millions jackpot so it will increase to $82 million as an annuity or $57.7 million as a lump sum for Tuesday’s drawing. The odds of winning a Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302.5 million.

Players can try their luck and buy Mega Millions tickets through Online Play on the lottery’s website, www.nclottery.com, with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App, or at any lottery retail location.

Hi NCEL NC sames to have lost a lot of its ability ro draw people to the pick 3 and pick 4 games. Maybe it's because of the pandemic or maybe it is because of NCEL. Just like the 972 incident. That should have been taken care of immediately. You lost some customers ??behind that. We always value integrity when it comes to these games.

For the Lucky 2nd drawing to win the Corvette and 100k do you need to save the scratch offs or is it linked to your email if you win? NC Lottery
Hi Michael, great question! After the ticket information is successfully submitted as an entry, the original ticket is not required to claim a Lucke-Rewards or 2nd Chance prize. Good luck!

Wonderful!

scratch off section under prizes left does not show the corvette listed. Is the corvette part of the top 5 prizes plus the car or just on the second chance drawing?NC Lottery
Hi William, the top prize is $100,000 and a Corvette. There are 4 top prizes and then a Second Chance winner will also win $100,000 and a Corvette.

Congrats to the winner.
