New Year’s Eve drawing produces $1 million Mega Millions win

Someone who bought a  ticket at a Forsyth County convenience store won a $1 million prize in New Year’s Eve Mega Millions drawing.

The lucky winner purchased the ticket at the Circle K on Williams Road in Lewisville. The $2 ticket matched the numbers on all five white balls to win the $1 million prize. The odds of matching numbers on all five white balls are 1 in 12.6 million.

The Mega Millions drawing also produced two $10,000 wins in North Carolina. Those lucky tickets were purchased at the Great D on U.S. 601 in Yadkinville and the Walnut Cove Market on South Main Street in Walnut Cove.

The winners have 180 days from the drawing to claim their prize.

Since no one won Friday’s jackpot, the Mega Millions jackpot climbs to $244 million as an annuity prize or $172.5 million cash for Tuesday’s drawing. Odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302.5 million.

New Year's Day Powerball drawing offers a half billion dollar jackpot on Saturday. The jackpot stands at $500 million as an annuity, or $355.9 million cash. The odds of winning a Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million.

You can buy Powerball or Mega Millions tickets at any lottery retail location, through Online Play on the lottery’s website or by using the NC Lottery Official Mobile App.

They stop taking numbers at 10:45 why so much time before the drawingNC Lottery
Great question, Jeffrey! This is for security reasons - all state lotteries have some cutoff in place for ticket purchases to help ensure that all systems are ready to go by the time of the draw!

That $2 ticket cost this winner $2,000,000. Never buy a $2 ticket, splurge the extra dollar and get the $3 ticket.

Wow! That's amazing, here is another amazing story. The last 8 days drawing for the lucky for life drawing, the lucky ball has been either an 8 or a 9 switching back and forth. I think they should go back to the ball drops instead of the RNG.

Hey Michael. Happy New Year. I did not win anything big any of the promos. I tried them all. Time will tell on the LFL, C5 & PB multi draw online tics. I lost out on the C5 online a couple nights ago. If I would have got my tics in the store I would have had 4 of 5 for $500 in the double draw. Yes I was upset !!!!
