Someone who bought a ticket in Texas for Friday night’s Mega Millions drawing woke up a few million dollars richer.
No one won the big jackpot, but according to the Texas Lottery, a ticket sold in Waxahachie was one of four in the drawing that matched all five numbers, but missed the Mega Ball. The person who bought the ticket in Texas chose the Megaplier option, turning the $1 million win into $4 million.
The winning Texas ticket was sold at the Tiger Mart on 2100 Brown Street in Waxahachie, which is just south of Dallas. If you bought a ticket there and haven't looked your ticket yet, the winning numbers were 11-32-43-57-70 with the Mega Ball of 6
There was also a ticket sold in Texas that fetched a cool $40,000 by matching four of five numbers, plus the Mega Ball. The lottery didn’t post where that ticket was sold.
The Mega Million jackpot now stands at $159 million for Tuesday's drawing.
