Mega Millions: $1 Million Winning Ticket Sold In Michigan

LANSING, MI – Someone is now a millionaire. The Michigan Lottery announced Monday that it had sold a winning ticket in the Mega Millions drawing on Friday, March 3.

The player matched the five white balls drawn – 24-28-42-60-64 – in the drawing to win a $1 million prize. The winning ticket was bought at the CVS pharmacy at 3090 Carpenter Road in Ypsilanti.

The Gold Mega Ball was 8 and the Megaplier was 4.

The holder of the winning ticket should contact the Michigan Lottery Public Relations Division at (517) 373-1237 to schedule an appointment to collect the big prize. The prize must be claimed at the Lottery’s headquarters in Lansing.

The clock to claim that prize is now ticking: Tickets for Mega Millions are valid for one year from the drawing date.

Mega Millions drawings take place each Tuesday and Friday evening. Each pick costs $2. For extra $1, players can add on a “Megaplier” that can multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to five times.
