Lucky NC ticket wins $1 million; Friday’s Mega Millions jackpot climbs to $1.25 billion

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.

I tried to enter numbers last night but learned today that my payment was not accepted. Better instructions for online play are needed. First time playing online. On the other hand I thought I saw winning number that looked like some of the one I paid. I almost spent $60. What do I need to know?NC Lottery
