Friday’s Mega Millions jackpot grew to $1.25 billion after no one won the jackpot in Tuesday’s drawing.
One lucky ticket in North Carolina did match all five white balls in the drawing to win $1 million. The ticket came from the 7-Eleven on South Polk Street in Pineville.
Nationally, a $3 Megaplier ticket sold in Texas won $4 million while $1 million wins also occurred in California, Massachusetts, New York and Wisconsin. The odds of matching numbers on all five white balls are 1 in 12.6 million.
In addition to the $1 million win, four tickets in North Carolina matched four white balls and the yellow Megaball to win $10,000. The wins occurred:
- At the Food Lion on Fayetteville Road in Raleigh
- At the Circle K on N.C 27 West in Sanford
- At the Sheetz on New Garden Road in Greensboro
- At the Walmart on U.S. 70 in Newport
Friday’s estimated $1.25 billion jackpot ranks as the fourth largest in Mega Millions history and sixth largest in U.S. history. A winner could choose the annuity prize or a lump sum of $625.3 million.
Players can buy 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.
