AUSTIN, Texas – An Ingram resident won a second-tier Mega Millions Prize worth $2 million.
The Texas Lottery confirms that the winning ticket was sold at Mini Mart, located at 929 Front St., in Comfort.
The winning ticket matched all five of the white ball numbers (20-36-53-56-69), but not the Mega Ball number (16).
The Mega Millions Lottery is played by selecting five numbers ranging from 1-70 and selecting the Mega Ball number ranging from 1-25. In order to win the Mega Millions jackpot, people must match all six numbers including the Mega Ball.
Players can match five numbers though and still be awarded one million dollars, but the Megaplier can increase their earnings times two, three, four, or even by five.
