A lottery player in Massachusetts woke up a millionaire after winning $1 million in the Mega Millions drawing. The lucky ticket was sold at Kam Man Food in Quincy, matching five of the Mega Million numbers. While the jackpot was not hit, the winner in Massachusetts came extremely close to taking it all. With this win, the excitement in the air is palpable, especially after the jackpot rolled over to an estimated $792 million for the next drawing on Friday.
In addition to the $1 million winner in Quincy, a $10,000 winning ticket was sold in Needham and three tickets worth $1,500 each were sold in different Massachusetts locations. The jackpot has been increasing since it was last won in December, with no ticket matching all six numbers on this draw. Mega Millions tickets have been in high demand across the U.S., with players hoping to strike it rich with just a $2 investment. The next drawing is anticipated to draw even more attention as the grand prize continues to climb towards record-breaking levels.
